Council Reports

  • Kaan has been invited out to Smyrna to visit Scott Andrews’ new youth council, and will be going along with Ethan Monday the 15th to meet them.
  • Camryn is holding an ice skating event on Monday the 15th
  • Laura Ann is further coordinating with Makerfest
  • Camden got in touch with Andy Cole and confirmed that if we get a script to him, he can start doing regular announcements.
  • Spencer Grace talked to Madison with planning commission about the music/busking around the front of the city hall during the tree lighting and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t feasible.

 

Mike shared the news that Maya Chande has resigned from the youth council due to conflicts with a university internship program. After conversation, the Youth Council decided to move forward with electing a new member as soon as possible.

 

Buford Holiday Parade:

  • On December 2nd at around noon, on the day of the tree lighting, and of the Children’s Healthcare Parade, the city of Buford is doing a parade as well. Mike suggested that someone from the council or ambassadors would attend as an analysis of the risks/rewards associated with hosting a small-town parade.
  • As the marching band members will be at their own parade, either Nida, Laura Ann, or Camden have to attend if the council wants to have a presence.
