MINUTES PRELIMINARY
YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION
December 6, 2009 - 4:30 PM
LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL
Members Present: Zach Wahls, Hannah Green, Jerry Gao, Luan Heywood
Appointees present: Alexandra Tamerius, Gary Black
Staff Present: Marian Karr, Ross Wilburn
Others Present: Annette Martin
CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order at 4:41 p.m. Hannah Green chaired the meeting.
INTRODUCTIONS:
New appointees were introduced.
APPLICATIONS:
The Commission briefly looked through the recently confirmed appointments to the
Commission. Karr reviewed the advertising and application process, and clarified individual
appointments. Outgoing members Green and Gao were thanked for their service.
MINUTES:
Wahls motioned to approve the November 1 minutes.
Heywood seconded.
The minutes were unanimously approved.
BUDGET UPDATE AND FY11 APPLICATION:
The Commission looked through the updated budget. The only recent change was the cost of
the youth forum.
YOUTH FORUM WRAP-UP:
Heywood asked how the council received our summary of the YAC's youth forum. Wilburn said
that he thought it was well received. He said that documents from a City Commission carry a
certain credence that might not accompany other groups.

That being said, he also made it clear that, barring any unforeseen change, the curfew will pass
4-3. There will, however, be an annual review of the curfew, which will hopefully provide
statistical information to the success or failure of the curfew.
Heywood asked if that amendment could be changed after it became law. Wilburn and Karr
said other amendments could be made prior to the final reading; and future Council may re-visit
the law.
Karr also said that she had hoped to bring a copy of the ordinance to the meeting; however, the
amended version was still being drafted by the City Attorney to accommodate the recent
change.
GRANT APPLICATION FROM REGINA:
Wahls and Gao presented the Youth Empowerment Grant from Regina. Green abstained from
discussion due to a conflict. Wahls noted that the group had originally asked for $900 in
funding, but the Commission could only allocate $500, which had been approved. This time, the
group was seeking another $500, for the same project. Because no other group has asked for a
youth empowerment grant this year, Wahls and Gao felt comfortable endorsing the application.
Heywood asked what the differences between this application and the other one had been.
Wahls noted that this funding was going to be spent on furniture and dryers and the previous
request had been for computers.
Wahls motioned to approve the Youth Empowerment Grant Application.
Gao seconded.
The Commission voted 3-0-1 to approve the application.
MEETING SCHEDULE:
The next meeting will be January 10th at 4:30.
ADJOURNMENT:
Green motioned to adjourn.
Gao seconded the motion.
The Commission voted 4-0 to adjourn, 5:15.

YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION (YAC)
Explanation of funding requests for fiscal year 2010-2011
Website and Advertisin 1 000
Last year, we were allotted $1,000 for maintaining and promoting a website about the YAC.
Since then we have produced a website which offers biographical information about members,
materials relating to the youth empowerment grant and information regarding the history and
formation of the YAC. Since the success of the website and YAC depend on community
engagement, we are again requesting funding to advertise.
We advertised during fiscal year 2010 by producing flyers, hosting events and purchasing Face
book ads. We hope to continue to expand our advertising in FY 2011 by working with a
marketing student at the Tippie B. College of Business pro-bono, reaching out to student groups
and high schools and developing deeper relationships with community groups that indicate
interest in the YAC`s mission. Through continued advertising, we hope to increase community
awareness and participation in YAC endeavors.
Youth Empowerment Grant: $2,000
We were allotted $2,000 for continuing a youth grant program in FY 2010. We have developed
an application and process for evaluating and approving youth led projects that benefit Iowa
City Residents with funding up to $500.
A student outreach group at Regina has continually expressed interest in, and been awarded, a
grant for a project geared towards helping needy families during the holidays. With active
promotion and targeted information, countless people have the opportunity to be helped by
Iowa City youth.
Youth Forums: $1,000
The YAC has recently redoubled its efforts to fully live out its mission statement and truly act as
a sounding board for issues affecting Iowa City youth. Acting in empowering leadership roles is
only a part of that mission, however, and actively seeking out what youth have to say about the
issues affecting them is just as important. To that end, the YAC is requesting $1,000 to have on
hand when issues (such as the proposed juvenile curfew) arise and we wish to hold a forum to
discuss those issues, as well as address the youth community at large.
Recoenition Scholarship: $500
The Recognition Scholarship, $250, will be awarded to two Iowa City Youth who have
demonstrated leadership potential and a commitment to community service. These youth
must be Iowa City residents in the seventh or eighth grade (orhome-school equivalent), have to
be recommended by at least two teachers and must write, in 500 words or less what
"leadership" means to her or him. This scholarship will serve not on{y to recognize youth for
their work thus far, and potential for their futures, but also act as a recruiting tool for the
commission itself.
