At the February 11, 2025 Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting, the Board unanimously voted to request the Equity Advisory Board, among other advisory boards, to consider adding a youth member.
The enacting resolution will need to be updated to add this new position.
A few things the Equity Advisory Board should consider:
- Day/time of meetings to accommodate the schedule of a youth
- Age (for example, 16+ theoretically can drive)
- The youth member will be subject to our Board and Committee Guidelines (attached) including Sunshine Laws, attendance, and residency requirements (to name a few)
