Youth council offers partnership on cleanups and 660‑foot mural; commission invited to participate
Loading...
Summary
The Kingman Youth Advisory (Kayak) introduced youth members and proposed partnering on cleanups and a 660‑foot mural project behind Walmart; staff invited the commission to future presentations and said partnership requests should be brought to the commission two to three meetings ahead of target dates.
Representatives of the Kingman Youth Advisory (referred to in the transcript as Kayak) attended the meeting to outline partnership opportunities with the Clean City Commission, including volunteering for cleanups and a large mural project intended to address graffiti.
Annie, the youth council’s adult coordinator, introduced youth members June Staley and Lincoln Waite and described a mural subcommittee partnership with Walmart to paint a 660‑foot block wall along Mojave Wash behind Walmart, facing a school, the dog pound and the library. The youth council plans to partner with local artists, solicit sponsorships and seek volunteer help; staff said the commission is welcome to partner and that the youth council could present a fuller plan at a later meeting.
Commissioners discussed timing, youth availability on holiday weekends (staff requested not to schedule youth on major holidays), and how to bring formal partnership requests to the commission so the city can route approvals as needed. The transcript records expressions of support and offers of sponsorship from commissioners but no formal vote on partnership. The meeting transcript does not specify the meeting date.
