The City has always submitted an essay to the State contest. <br />Commissioner Singleton stated cities have the option of doing their own but if the time line does <br />not fit with the State contest then they would not be able to participate. <br />Chair Groff stated the participants all have to answer the same prompt from the State in order to <br />be eligible for that contest. <br />Commissioner Christiansen asked if the State also specified how many and what references to <br />use when answering. <br />Ms. Collins stated the last prompt did have specific references but this is something that can be <br />changed with each prompt that is submitted or approved. <br />Chair Groff stated the League is looking for input because they know the Essay Contest needs to <br />be reviewed. The current recommendation is a good starting document. <br />c.
