City Council Minutes <br />October 15, 2018 <br />Page 10 <br />by the council and staff is looking for direction on when it should be implemented and what <br />it would entail. <br />Councilmember Wagner felt it is important to recognize youth and that, by doing so it could <br />have a positive impact on the future of Elk River. She felt student leadership and significant <br />achievements should be part of the recognition. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if the Independent School District (ISD) 728 currently recognizes <br />student accomplishments. <br />Mayor Dietz thinks it could be a good idea. Perhaps a certificate and focus more on students <br />who are interested in government. <br />Councilmember Wagner agreed it may be a good way to get students interested in local <br />government and they may become more invested in their community. She will talk to ISD <br />728. <br />Mayor Dietz asked if there was an age limit on boards and commission. <br />There is currently no age limit but school age children typically have busy schedules that <br />prevent them from attending regular meetings. <br />Mayor Dietz asked Councilmember Wagner to return to the council with additional <br />information on starting a Student of the Month program. <br />Councilmember ON -all asked what the process would be. Would it involve people applying or <br />be at the discretion of the council or school board? How much effort would go into the <br />program? What would the criteria be? He believes there is currently a competitive market for <br />acknowledgement. <br />10.
