250659 11.OrdinanceA substitute ordinance relating to the membership of the Emerging Youth Achievement Advisory Council.

Minutes note: Appeared Clifton Crump (Policy and Administrator Director for President Perez) he presented remarks and context for the change. The President’s office emphasized that youth should be present “at the table” when decisions affecting them are discussed. Ald. Moore recommended considering a small stipend for youth members and ensuring meeting times are convenient for the targeted age group (high school vs. college). Clifton Crump noted the board is currently not compensated; paying only youth could trigger rules requiring paying all members, but they will look for ways to accommodate (including potentially seeking private funds).
