Facilitated Discussion of mission driven Dlannina
City Council Liaison Correia facilitated discussion. She noted that the first flip[ chart
contained only one of the two statements contained in the bylaws and in the resolution
establishing the Commission.
FLIP CHART # 1
Mission
To promote understanding and awareness of Iowa City among IC Youth, allow a
select group of youth to make decisions concerning them & their peers, enable
youth members to utilize & expand on their leadership abilities, & to serve as a
mechanism for communication between youth and adults in IC and create a
bridge whereon youth & adults can develop partnership.
Correia encouraged members to identify common themes that had been discussed in
previous meetings. That exercise resulted in the formulation of the second flip chart.

FLIP CHART # 2
. Environmental Concerns
. Mini grants
. Exposure
T shirt /Iogo
Enhance communication
Design website
. Mapping youth leadership & involvemenUresources
Correia suggested a relationship between Mapping and Exposure, and the majority
agreed it was difficult to proceed to the items listed without first developing further those
two. There was discussion on development of a website and the possibility of asking
city staff (webmaster) to attend the next meeting. It was decided that members would
research individual websites for the next meeting (June 14) and bring examples with
them. City Clerk Karr stated that the room was wireless and members could actually
access the sites and share likes and dislikes at the meeting. If hard copy handouts of
sites would be helpful Karr offered to print them as well. It was decided that each
member would bring 2-3 examples, not necessarily of Youth sites, to the June meeting.
City staff would be asked to attend a future meeting after some agreement and
consensus had been reached.
Correia noted she is involved in the Iowa Youth Survey and asked for any volunteers
that might be interested in being trained as facilitators. _Subramanian, Keranen, and
Kamps volunteered. Nelson stated he needed more information and Stubbers indicated
she would be out of town for the summer months and unable to participate. Correia
stressed this would be totally separate from the Commission but a great opportunity to
become connected with other youth and be visible.
In order to identify what other resources / projects are available in the community,
Subramanian offered to contact Janie Jeffries at United Action for Youth and Nancy
Quellhorst from the Chamber as speakers for the June 14 meeting. It was agreed that
they would be scheduled first on the agenda and provided 30-45 minutes.
Develooment of Loao / t-shirt
Keranen offered some preliminary designs for the t-shirt, suggesting it be professional
and simple. She offered to provide additional designs for consideration at the June 14
meeting. It was agreed she would provide designs to help focus discussion and then a
City staff would clean up the design for final approval by the Commission. In response
to Commission Members, Karr indicated that the Commission would be involved in
selecting the design, shirt material, and color. Karr stated that until a design is selected
materials, vendors, timeline, etc could not be determined. Keranen suggested the shirt
be a polo type rather than a T shirt. Kamps wondered if the shirts could be done for
summer events. Correia suggested the Commission re-visit name tags. Keranen and
Subramanian stated they had examples of nice buttons that might be considered. Both
offered to bring them to the June meeting.
