The Youth Council Task Force agreed to pursue a youth entrepreneurship showcase on May 16 that would pair with a voters' proclamation, with a target of 25 booths for student entrepreneurs and artists. "That short survey there...25 out of 89 participants," said Mr. Wood, reporting survey results that the group used to set participation targets. The task force asked volunteers to help recruit and to finalize a signup form and map.
Leisure Services staff advised the group to complete the city's special event application and noted logistics: standard booth dimensions (suggested 10 by 10), a requirement that vendors provide their own setup and cleanup, and an option to request electricity on the application. "Special event application...you don't have to have a log in," Michelle Fitzgerald, assistant leisure services director, told the group and walked members through the online step to be reviewed by a cross‑departmental special events committee. The task force agreed to proceed with an application and advertising once the date and spaces were confirmed.
