Council appoints Lindsay Strong as Mantua youth council director
Summary
The council appointed Lindsay Strong as youth council director to relaunch the youth program; members discussed age/grade eligibility and liability safeguards and unanimously approved the appointment by voice vote.
The Mantua Town Council on Nov. 20 appointed Lindsay Strong as the town’s youth council director, a step councilors said will help reengage young residents in community events.
Speaker 4 told the council that Lindsay Strong approached Karen Nelson with a proposal to restart the youth council and presented an application, a code of conduct and a proposed schedule. Council members discussed eligibility criteria (grades versus ages) and confirmed a plan to require two‑deep leadership for liability reasons. Speaker 4 moved to appoint Lindsay Strong as youth council director; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Councilors said the youth council would assist with town celebrations and other community events and hoped the new director would attract more young people than prior efforts. No compensation, term length, or formal reporting schedule was specified in the transcript; those details were left to follow‑up administrative action.
Next steps: staff will coordinate onboarding, finalize eligibility language and confirm supervision and liability measures before programming begins.
