Council adopts plan to align Youth Council terms with school year; by-law update approved
Summary
Councilman Mazzola proposed changing Youth Council terms to run Sept. 1–Aug. 31 to match the school calendar; Council voted to update the Youth Council by-laws and reappoint current members under the new term via resolution once by-law language is prepared.
Councilman Mazzola proposed changing Youth Council member terms to run from September 1 through August 31 so terms would align with the school year. He said information about serving on the Youth Council had been shared with students but only current members submitted applications. Councilman Mazzola moved to update the Youth Council by-laws to reflect the new term and to reappoint current members under the new dates once the by-laws are finalized; Councilwoman Milward seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Council members noted that by-law language must be amended before formal appointments are made by resolution. The change is intended to simplify transitions when students leave or return to school; Council did not specify a timetable for publishing new applications. The item will return for formal appointment after the Board of Youth Council by-laws are updated.
