OLD BUSINESS
5 a. Discussion of Future Meeting Topics
Commissioners revisited ideas from previous meetings on potential activities for the Youth
Commission.
Commission Hagen reported the Rosemount National Honor Society did not express an interest in
partnering with the Youth Commission on upcoming projects. However, Commissioner Eichten
suggested that the Rosemount Student Council may be open to suggestions.
The Commission resolved to conduct a survey of the Rosemount High School student body on
topics concerning the Youth Commission, particularly concerning potential Youth Commission
activities. Commission members discussed possible subject areas and questions. Commissioners
Laumer and Nelson formed a sub - committee to work on the survey and meet with Principal
Wollersheim about the possibility of a student survey. The Commission discussed the possibility
that a special meeting may need to be scheduled to tally the results of the survey.
Staff Liaison Foster handed out information on a potential partnership opportunity for a "teen
night" for middle school students. The planning group for "teen night" includes representatives
from Rosemount Parks and Recreation, the YMCA, Lighthouse Church and Community of Hope
