Council gives first reading to ordinance discontinuing Youth Advisory Committee
Summary
Council held the first reading of an ordinance to discontinue the Youth Advisory Commission (Chapter 2 — Administration) due to sustained low participation; item will return for a second reading per ordinance procedure.
Council held the first reading of an ordinance to discontinue the Youth Advisory Commission in the Lake Jackson Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2 (Administration), citing difficulty maintaining youth participation.
City staff read the ordinance language and explained that the commission has struggled to maintain enthusiasm and membership; councilmembers said the commission could be brought back in the future if interest resurfaces. The ordinance language includes a saving clause and repeals conflicting ordinance parts to the extent of the conflict.
No final adoption occurred: council completed the required first reading and will consider the ordinance again at a subsequent meeting for a second reading and final action.
