The PRC directed Parks and Recreation Director Bernstein to seek information as to how other City of Hastings commissions, as well as how other communities, handle youth serving on commissions. The new Hastings Public Safety Commission has a stipulation for youth to serve on the Commission. Also, enclosed in this information are documents showing how the City of Burnsville welcomes youth to serve on the Park Board. I am seeking a recommendation from the PRC supporting the effort to develop further strategy on welcoming youth from our community to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission. Thank you!
