Proposed language for Student Representative

The Council will be acting on the Park and Recreation recommendation to add a student Representative to the Park and Rec Board. I wanted to try to be more inclusive of the opinions of those that use many of our great amenities. The Council will take this item up at the next Council meeting.

This is the proposed language for a student representative on the Park and Recreation Board.
