Resident asks council to create climate-change youth groups; council raises staffing and structure questions
Summary
During public comment a resident asked the council to form youth climate groups reporting to the city; councilors said they viewed the idea favorably but raised questions about who would form the groups, their responsibilities, and staff capacity.
A resident urged the city to form climate-change youth groups that would report to the city, the Clerk said. "Next, we heard from a citizen who would like the city to form climate change youth groups reporting to the city," the Clerk reported.
Several councilors responded favorably to the idea in principle, but the Clerk said members raised questions about who would organize the groups, how they would be formed, what responsibilities they would have, and concerns about limited staff time to support the effort.
