10
00:02:56.640 --> 00:03:13.519
Council. Um, going into my second year, um, this was a very special, uh, year. Uh, six of the eight members are graduating high school. Um, which is a big milestone. I'm definitely going to miss you guys. Um, even though, you know, you guys give me a run for my money, but you guys know I definitely

11
00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:29.040
love you guys. You know, um, all the time that we spent together, um, and, you know, learning different things about civic engagement. Uh, so with that being said, unfortunately, our youth mayor uh, could not be in attendance tonight. Um, but we do have our councilwoman, our youth councilwoman

12
00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:57.840
from district 4, Piscar Liberty, who will be leading us into tonight's presentation. >> Good evening, mayor and council. My name is Priscia Liberty and I have the honor of serving as North Miami Youth Council Woman for District 4. On behalf of North

13
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:16.400
Miami Youth Council, I have the privilege to present a legislative item for your consideration. Many of you have said it yourself. The youth are the future of this city. Tonight I will be presenting a proposal that allows the youth to be included in

14
00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:33.000
the livelihood of the city of North Miami. Our proposal is that the city of North Miami mayor and council will establish a one non- voting youth alternate member position on select city boards and commission.

15
00:04:33.919 --> 00:04:49.919
Youth members would attend regular schedule meetings on designated boards and commission. While they wouldn't have voting power, they could actively participate in discussions when recognized. Their main duty would be to provide feedback and recommendation from a youth

16
00:04:49.919 --> 00:05:07.160
center perspective, offering insight that only young people can provide. And lastly, they would act as an ambassador for youth civic, encouraging their peers to take an active interest in city growth and government.

17
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:22.720
To ensure the success of this initiative, we've established clear requirements for the youth alternate members. Members will need to be active in members in standing of the North Miami Youth Council. They will need to maintain a satisfactory academic

18
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:37.280
standing. In addition, they need appointments. Appointments would also be subject to approval by mayor and council to ensure that selected individuals are prepared to represent the youth of North Miami. And again, their role would

19
00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:56.240
simply be advisory and collaborative. Now, let's talk about the why behind this proposal. This initiative is designed to achieve four primary goals. increase youth civic engagement and leadership development by participating in local government. Youth

20
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:11.360
will gain skills and experience that will prepare them for future leadership roles. Second, it will provide the youth participation in local government discussion. Our perspective are often missing in these conversation and this

21
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:28.800
proposal ensures our voices are heard. Three, strengthening collaboration between youth residents and city leadership. This initiative fosters mutual understanding and a strong community bond. And lastly, create long-term youth representation

22
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:49.759
opportunities. It is important to note what youth alternate members would not do. They would not vote on agenda items. Their role is strictly advisory. Members would also not count towards quorum requirements, meaning board's ability to conduct official business will remain

23
00:06:49.759 --> 00:07:08.479
completely unaffected by attendance of a youth member. They will not exercise any legal authority of appointed members. And finally, they will not replace any current voting board members. Possible boards and commission for

24
00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:23.759
consideration could include the planning commission, board of adjustment, parks and rec commission and the library board. These are area especially important because they directly affect the quality of life opportunity and

25
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:41.240
future development of the community that young residents will inherit. Through this initiative, we hope to create lasting opportunity for youth representation and inspire more young residents to become involved in public service and community leadership.

26
00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:58.879
Thank you, mayor and council, for the privilege to speak in front of you today. As I come to the end of my first year of North Miami Youth Council, I would like to thank Councilwoman Mary Estan Irvin for her leadership and constantly redefining what it means to be a leader and inspiring me to be a

27
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:14.000
better servant to my community. Thank you for your effort and always making sure that the youth are heard and ensuring resources are always put in place for us. Thank you all. I would like now to open

28
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:32.000
proposal questions to questions. >> I know this is a discussion item, but I first would like to congratulate um youth council member Liberte for a um well thoughtout presentation um that you brought before the youth council. Um you all are here in quorum as opposed to us

29
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:47.360
up here. I know sometime it's hard getting quorum, but I want to congratulate you all for being here and being present. And I want to say this is probably the first time since I've been elected that a board or a advisory board brought an item for consideration because every board that we have here in

30
00:08:47.360 --> 00:09:04.080
the city of North Miami can bring forth a discussion like you're doing a resolution or ordinance. So I applaud the youth council and Paul for bringing this initiative and showing the other boards what they should be doing um here in our city. And again, thank you councilwoman. Um I think we'll bring the discussion up here um to my colleagues

31
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:23.839
or do we do we have to open up for citizen formers and city attorneys? Is it the second item? Right. >> Okay. So, it doesn't have to unless we're voting. Correct. >> Correct. Oh, okay. Thank you. Um, so I'll bring it before

32
00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:38.800
us here. >> I just want to say um um congratulations to you all and uh job well done um district 4. So again, district for represent um good job.

33
00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:55.040
um my my only um concern I know that you were pointing out some boards but looking at the um composition of the youth council which is m mainly made of women and we have a very very active

34
00:09:55.040 --> 00:10:12.080
women commission and the great city of north Miami and I don't see that commission listed as part of uh board because they they are very active and they are doing a lot um as far as I can tell because I've been in some of their events and everything and I think they

35
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:27.920
have a big event coming up uh next month I believe. So, which is uh something that I would just put out for um consideration because uh you know when I'm checking out is like probably have one or two uh young men in there all

36
00:10:27.920 --> 00:10:44.640
women. So, that would be something that you might want to consider. So, okay. Youth Council, Councilwoman Liberte, thank you for representing your colleagues. Well, thank you for us a

37
00:10:44.640 --> 00:11:01.440
presentation. Well done. I'm just so very proud of you. As you've heard from my colleagues, this is a discussion item. So, you've presented this before us. We're going to then um you know speak to our city manager and our city attorney and figure out how we can

38
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:18.560
implement this. So, I just want to thank you all for your leadership. um all of you that are here um all of the youth council, I am so proud of you and you represent us well. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And continue um to work

39
00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:35.440
hard and and are you graduating as well? >> No, >> no, not you're not graduating this year, but everyone else that's graduating, congratulations. I'm very proud of you. Um, and I just want to do a shameless plug that there is application process open for you parents that are are

40
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:52.120
listening, you students that are watching, um, that you should go online and apply and, um, speak to um, Paul Bazil. And I believe the application process is going to be open until May 30th. Is that correct, >> Paul?

41
00:11:53.360 --> 00:12:08.320

Thank you. If I can have Councilwoman Mayor Estan >> actually I'd like to come with all of my colleagues because I don't do this alone. So they, you know, without them I won't be able to do anything. So let's go up. >> Okay. >> This is a token of appreciation.

45
00:13:32.959 --> 00:14:35.160
more for that. I cannot do this. >> After you guys agree. >> Thank you. Oh my god. >> You don't have to.

46
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:53.720
>> If um the youth council could come back up to >> Oh, sorry. >> We've got a gift for Paul. The youth council license. >> A good >> I know. It's so sweet.

00:15:32.959 --> 00:15:48.240
also like to give direction to the city attorney if there's a possibility that they can vote on the board. You can let us know. I know some of them are chartered boards and they probably can't vote, but if we could maybe look at the possibility of which boards that we can have them as the actual voting member would be the recommendations that I've

49
00:15:48.240 --> 00:16:03.519
make on the record and direct staff, the city manager and the city attorney um to begin looking at that legislation. I'm pretty sure Councilwoman, you'll be sponsoring it. Uh, yeah. >> No, this is your board. No, I just wanted to make my my notation.
