NEW BUSINESS - 5C <br />MEN HILLS <br />.� <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: September 17, 2024 <br />TO: Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee <br />FROM: Jill Anderson <br />SUBJECT: Student Feedback <br />Background, <br />PTRC had two youth applicants/members over the last year. Feedback was requested regarding <br />the experience and the following was provided: <br />PTRC - Was a very good learning experience <br />is Didn't feel like they contributed much, would recommend getting involved outside <br />of committee meetings and joining a subgroup learned about how the city runs and <br />how individuals can get involved <br />• Would recommend providing more information at onboarding about the city <br />structure and council roles <br />• Felt increasing meeting times would help and felt things moved very slowly (related <br />in part to the council reviewing ptrc recommendations and the new governance <br />structure with projects just starting in 2024) <br />PTRC - Enjoyed learning more about the city and how it operates, processes for getting <br />things done. <br />• W)uirecommend PTRC improves c)MMun0cations within itself <br />• Was challenging to find their place, some clickiness. Some of this was attributed <br />to the one year term length as well as unconscious biases related to age. <br />• Felt onboarding was good, provided enough info to exist in the space, the other <br />information needed had tIIIIIII ilililll)e observed and learned through part icipation. <br />• Would tell future members to find your own space, you may not be invited. I qe <br />committee members are welcoming, you just need to assert yourself. <br />All would be interested in joining a commi ee commission oar in the future wherever <br />they choose to make their homes. <br />Action Requested: <br />Discuss whether we want to adjust our process based on the feedback from students. <br />Page1ofl <br />
