Recommendations to Council:
Call to Order: Motioned by Nelson, seconded by Han. Approved 4 -0.
Approve minutes: Nelson moved to approve the minutes. Malatek seconded. The minutes
were approved 4 -0.
Goals and Planning for 2008• Youth Input and Involvement: There was further
discussion on the Youth Input sessions and related items. Malatek suggested that it would be a
good idea to have a youth survey. Han added that it might be a good idea also to include whether
they would be interested in attending a Youth Input session on the survey. Wilburn offered to
facilitate the discussion. Malatek voiced that it also might be a good idea to run a textbook
donation, similar to the computer and software donations already present. Han added that
schools often sell back older textbooks but also included that she might be able to talk to some
librarians to find out.
Diamitani brought up a new idea of doing a high school student senates -YAC sponsored
winter dance before winter break. He included preliminary information about some possible
events and themes. Karr added that if there would be raffling there may need be State forms to
file. Location was also one of the questions Nelson put forth. Vining, who was also present,
voiced that the West High BPA club was also planning a similar event. Han and Diamitani
volunteered to form a subcommittee for further discussion and planning.
Citing a similar venue at West High school, Diamitani suggested a community wide
"heroes" project where youth could nominate each other. Nelson suggested that they could
utilize the YAC website to facilitate the nomination and selection process. Malatek suggested
that it might be added incentive if there was a scholarship prize and a certificate of recognition.
Han, Diamitani and Malatek volunteered for a subcommittee for further discuss.
Update on website: None
Youth Empowerment Grant: Because the winter break suggestion made in the previous
section (Goals and planning for 2oo8) would possibly utilize the grant through the individual
high school student senates, there was limited discussion. Vining asked for more information
about the grant and Diamitani gave a brief summary of the premise behind it.
2oo8 -og Subcommittee Reports: Other than the formation of two new committees and
mentioned above, there was no further discussion.
DRAFT
Public Discussion: Karr asked Vining if there was anything he would like to add.
Student Citizenship Awards: Nelson mentioned that he would not be able to make it to the
October list presentation of the award to Weber Elementary school. Diamitani confirmed that
he would be able to be present at the presentation. Others verified that the information given in
the agenda was correct.
Staff update: Karr asked whether Vining would like to take an application to the YAC as he was
present.
Announcements/Invitations /Events /Opportunities: As these items were already
covered extensively, they were not discussed again.
Meeting Schedule: Malatek suggested that Sundays might be a better day for meetings as the
week is a very busy time for many. Nelson agreed. Karr and Wilburn both said that they would
be willing to arrange such a meeting schedule and all other members said that a Sunday date
would work. It was decided that the next meeting date would be on Sunday, November 2 °d.

SORY COMMISSIO22r
EXPLANATION OF FUNDING REQUEST FCP FISCAL YEAR 2009
* Summer of the Arts Global Village: $500
We participated in the Global Village event in June of 2006. At the event the YAC ran a tent
focusing on the country of Ghana. We provided a beverage and several craft activities for the
children who attended the event. The event provided a chance for the YAC to interact with
younger youth of the community, increasing the visibility of the commission.
We are requesting the same amount of money as last year to continue our involvement. The
Summer of the Arts provides $200 in funding, to which the funding we are requesting would
augment if needed.
* Website and Advertising: $500
Last year we were allotted $500 for developing and promoting a website about the YAC. Since
then, we have produced a website which offers a community events calendar focusing on youth,
biographical information about members, and materials relating to the Youth Empowerment Grant.
The major development of the website is complete. However, since the success of the webpage
and the YAC depends on the community engagement, we are requesting funding to advertise.
We advertised during fiscal year 2008 by producing flyers, pencils, and Facebook ads. We hope to
continue to expand our advertising by reaching out to student groups at high schools and the
university, as well as community groups that may indicate interest in the program. Through
advertising, we hope to improve community awareness and participation in YAC endeavors.
* Youth Empowerment Grant: $2000
We were allotted $1500 for establishing a youth mini -grant program for fiscal year 2008. Since
then we have developed an application and process for evaluating and approving youth -led
projects for Iowa City residents with funding up to $500.
With active promotion and targeted information, the first project was approved December 12,
2007. This project helped needy families during the holiday through student outreach at Regina
High School. We will be able to award several more qualified projects with funding up to $500.

MINUTES
Youth Advisory Commission
November 2, 2008
Lobby Conference Room, City Hall, 5:30PM
Members Present: Diamitani, Malatek, Han, Nelson, Green
Members Absent: none
Others Present: City Council Liaison Wilburn, City Clerk Karr
Call to Order: Motioned by Nelson, seconded by Han. Approved 4- 0.5:32PM
Approve minutes: Minutes were not available at the time of printing.
Budget for FYio: The committee began to review the funding for the new fiscal year.
Diamitani asked if it would be possible to bring up something new related to the budget. He
asked if it would be possible to have a Youth Advisory funded dance and /or carnival and have it
be funded partially or wholly. It was noted that then the winter dance portion of the plan would
still be part of this year's budget and could not be funded. But it was also noted that the summer
carnival could be funded if the request was approved.
There was further discussion about the possible dance and rough cost estimations. The
primary discussion was around location. Diamitani said that he had called a couple of locations
and made tentative reservations at recreation centers, which cost around $500. He commented,
however, that the space may be inadequate. Nelson asked if it could be held outdoors or at some
other location with discounts from the city and Karr said it might be possible. Green suggested a
hotel be used, such as the Marriot. Han commented that there most likely would not be room
there as reservations are filled quickly. Malatek then suggested that the IMU be used since it
would provide space and would be completely restored by the date. Green agreed that it was a
good idea. Han asked what the cost of renting space would be and also noted that it might be
hard to get a reservation secured. Nelson said that the cost would be high would have be looked
into beforehand.
Concerning the actual planning of the dance, many more specific suggestions were made.
Diamitani agreed that having a game section might not be as attractive but also said that the
date of February 14th might be a good date. Others agreed that the 14th would be a good day for
such dance. It was then asked how the three area high schools would work together and would
be integrated at the dance. Malatek suggested a competition between the schools and Han
agreed that it was a good incentive. Diamitani also suggested that there be a prize for the school
that wins from the money raised. Diamitani then also asked if there should be food. Green said
she thought food would be appropriate. Malatek suggested that we ask local food vendors to
possibly get donations for the food to alleviate some of the costs. Nelson offered that if the IMU
were to be used, there were strict regulations concerning outside food and so further discussion
was set aside for later.
Discussion then moved to the carnival. Karr asked Diamitani what exactly he had in
mind for the carnival. Diamitani gave the example of the last day of Northwest Jr. High when
DRAFT
students go to the park and swimming pool for the afternoon. Green noted that it might be a
good idea to have some more events or attractions. Han also suggested that there be various
sports teams from the schools to attract more people and get more publicity at the same time.
Malatek agreed. Diamitani said that this could also be used to raise more money by having
events with the sports teams.
Returning to the original heading of the budget for Mo, Nelson commented that the
facebook advertisements were working well and it would be good to have some additional
funding to make it a request of 1,0190 . There was also an addition in anew category, for the
proposed summer event of the amount of l000 . There was no changes made to the other
categories. Karr said that she would present the request the next day for approval.

previous heading and was not discussed further.

Meeting Schedule: Han suggested that the committee meet either in late November or early
December. Green agreed. Han asked if certain days worked for other people, continuing with the
Sunday meeting schedule and two dates were suggested: November 24th and December 2nd. It
was decided that the November 24th date would be the primary date and the December date a
back up.

HI,
I have booked the valentines day dance at the Coralville Marriott and the price will be
$2000. I am planning on having West, City, and Regina each take out a empowerment grant
request to pay for the booking, with west taking out two. Also I have not yet asked for
the floodraiser discount.
This cost may raise some eyebrows, but to much avail I have already contacted a host of
possible sponsers:
Toyota Scion of Iowa City
Scheels All Sports
Best Buy
Community Motors of Iowa City
2.102.9 radio
Texas Roadhouse
Barnes and Noble
Hills Bank
THe Edge restaurant
Coral Ridge Ice arena
These are just a few of whom I've contacted so far and have expressed interest. Hopefully
this will cover a significant portion of the cause if things go as planned, and there are
many others that I have not contacted yet. I am currently sending each of these places
copies of the event outline -the revised version which i have attached to you as well -
through email. However, some of these places ask for hard copies to hand out to thier
review committees. If it is at all possible I would like to send the outline to all the
above business in a hard copy as well with a YAC or CIty council letterhead and city of
Iowa city envelope to bring in that extra "legitimate" factor. If I could just print out a
bunch of copies to bring to the meeting on Sunday and then address the envelopes to have
them mailed out that would be great.
I will let you know if there are any more updates.
Thanks!

months tragedies. Schools will each charge $S admission to the dance with respective donation boxes
present at entrance. Winners will be determined through a number of students per school percentage
and an average number of dollars per person. The school that can raise the most money for the cause
will receive a special certificate of recognition and possible award presentation from the city council.

local restaurants.

companions.
Location and time: The event will take place at the Coralville Marriot in the Exhibit hall. Rental costs

Proiected Outcome: With the community and the area schools and businesses working together to
promote unprecedented youth contribution towards a major cause, this project has the makings of a
very successful fundraising effort. The aura surrounding Valentines' Day will attract kids looking for a
way to compliment their evenings. The dance provides a safe and festive atmosphere to quell the urges
and anxieties of those eager for something to do. The friendly competitive aspect of it will excite many
students and encourage them to participate. With an established event sponsored and endorsed by the
local community, turnout can be expected in the 1500 -2000 range with an expected $10,000 in ticket
sales alone. The youth of Iowa City with the YAC leading the charge are taking initiative to make a
difference in the community. With your help we can all do our part to ensure the best quality of life for
all community residents.
