General Application January 2010 Page 2 of 7 -'~ MINUTES YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION March 8, 2010 - 7:00 PM LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL PRELIMINARY Members Present: Zach Wahls, Luan Heywood, Alexandra Timarius, Gary Black Members Absent: None Staff Present: Marian Karr, Ross Wilburn Others Present: None CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 7:25 p.m. Luan Heywood chaired the meeting. ELECTION OF OFFICERS: The Commission discussed the idea of postponing the election of officers until the next meeting, when there will be more appointments made by the City Council. Timarius asked about the specific functions of officer positions. Karr and Wahls explained the purpose and responsibilities of officers and subcommittees. Wilburn said that deferring until April was no problem. Timarius motioned to postpone the election of officers until April. Heywood seconded the motion. The Commission voted 4-0 in favor of the motion. MINUTES: Wahls moved to approve the February 22 minutes. Timarius seconded the motion. The Commission voted 4-0 in favor of the motion. VACANCY UPDATE: Timarius said that she had spoken with a few individuals who were interested in applying for positions on the YAC. Karr noted that former YAC member Jerry Gao had reapplied for an At- Large position, and vacancies were available for the Tate and Regina seats. Black said he would be willing to travel to Tate or Regina to recruit members for the YAC. Heywood brought fliers to the meeting, and Black said he would be more than willing to distribute them. Karr mentioned that we wouldn't need City Attorney review for the flier since the text was taken from the YAC mission statement and bylaws. YOUTH ADVISORY COMMISSION March 8, 2010 Page 2 of 3 Heywood thought it was important to differentiate between advertising a vacancy on the Commission and advertising the purpose of the Commission. The Commission decided to order forty fliers (15 for Tate and 25 for Regina). Heywood will send electronic version of the flier to Karr for printing and Black will pick up the fliers from the City Clerk's office and distribute to Regina and Tate. Website and Advertising budget line will absorb the cost of the fliers and printing. BUDGET: The Commission briefly discussed the budget. $1,000 still remains in the budget for Youth Empowerment Grants. SUBCOMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS: The YAC discussed the various subcommittees at length and explained the appointment system to the new members, Black and Timarius. Final appointments were as follows: Recognition Scholarship - Wahls Website and Advertising -Heywood, Timarius Youth Empowerment Grant -Black, Timarius, Wahls Wahls motioned to approve the subcommittee appointments. Timarius seconded the motion. The Commission voted 4-0 in favor of the motion. CITY COUNCIL UPDATE: Karr said that this item has been added so the YAC has an idea of what's going on with the City Council and if there are any issues with which the Commission should be concerned. Wilburn reported that the grace period for the curfew was over. The Commission briefly discussed the 21-only ordinance and the affordable housing ordinance. MEETING SCHEDULE: The next meeting will be Monday, April 12th at 7:00. ADJOURNMENT: Black motioned to adjourn. Wahls seconded the motion. The Commission voted 4-0 to adjourn, 8:35 PM.

Contact Phone: (319) 356-5022 Posted by: Human Rights Mailing List(s): City Channel 4 Program Schedule - General City News Originally Posted 4/6/2010 3:21:46 PM Iowa City Human Rights Commission Youth Award Nomination Form (Individual & Group) 2010 For the past six years, the Iowa City Human Rights Commission has recognized activities performed by local youth that promote and/or contribute to Human Rights in the Iowa City area and abroad. Activities that the Commission is aware of that would be worthy of an award include, but are not limited to: • Collecting money for a Human Rights related organization/cause • Organizing a Human Rights related activity • Collecting food/clothing/personal hygiene items for local or national organizations Since the Iowa City Human Rights Commission hopes to recognize the creativity and uniqueness of our youth, we ask that students not be nominated for participation in class activities or pre-organized events. However, any additional activity that comes as a result of a class activity or pre-organized event would be a welcome nomination. To keep our awards timely, we also ask that nominations be limited to events that have occurred since June 2009. Students previously recognized by the Human Rights Commission are eligible, as long as they are nominated for a different and current activity. If you are nominating youth for participation in connection with a service agency, a letter on agency letterhead, dated and signed by the Director must accompany the nomination form. Please note, a nominator cannot nominate more than ten (10) youths. Nominations will be accepted until 5 p.m. on April 16, 2010. Nominations can be sent to: City of Iowa City Human Rights Commission 410 E. Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240-1826 Or sent via email to humanrights(a~iowa-city.org or faxed to 887-6213. Each honoree will be recognized Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at the Youth Human Rights Awards Program at the Englert Civic Theatre located at 221 E. Washington Street, downtown Iowa City. At the program, Mayor Matthew Hayek will deliver brief remarks and each honoree will be presented with a Certificate of Appreciation signed by Mayor Hayek and the Chair of the Iowa City Human Rights Commission. The winner, nominator, and parents/guardians are invited to attend the celebration. Refreshments will be served.
