The staff <br />recommended approval of the Senior Commission and the Youth Commission <br />proposed ordinance. <br /> <br />Abbie M. Carter, 1135 Watts Avenue <br />Ms. Carter represented the Task Force for seniors and youth. She stated that a copy <br />of their report was given to the City Council in April. She said the task force had a <br />regular attendance of around fifteen volunteer residents. Ms. Carter said they <br />started in October 2010, with a charge of communicating with the seniors and youth <br />residents about their opinions of University City. She said that they did surveys, <br />which were hard copies or available online, with 51 questions for the youth and 54 <br />questions for the seniors. Ms. Carter stated that they received 500 replies from the <br />youth and 368 replies from the seniors. She said the task force recommended a <br />separate commission for seniors and one for youth. Each commission would follow- <br />up on the recommendations of the task force and oversees potential development of <br />new initiatives. She said a few of these recommendations for the youth were to work <br />on gang prevention; create a community garden; determine the best course of action <br />to reduce teen pregnancy; create a youth non-smoking community in University City; <br />create a community-wide anti-drug campaign; and work with the regional art <br />commission on their community art training. Ms. Carter said some seniors stated <br />that they would like more communication between them and the City. The task force <br />recommended developing a one-page educational piece that could be mailed with <br />the refuse bill and/or on the University City website. She said they also <br />recommended identifying City staff or partnering with a community agency to seek <br />grant funding and to explore the possibility of hiring a full or part-time staff person to <br />serve as a resource liaison. Ms. Carter also mentioned exploring options in <br />identifying a handyman program to help seniors. She stated that you could go to the <br />City’s website to view the entire report. Ms. Carter said they were committed as a <br />committee in forming a youth commission and a senior commission and were willing <br />to do whatever was needed to make it happen. <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
