One demographic <br /> group that frequently is overlooked when obtaining resident feedback about the City is the youth <br /> within the community. Staff wanted to get a youth perspective of what they thought were <br /> positive and negative attributes of the City. In May, City staff contacted Ms. Anderson, <br /> Principal of Baker Jr. High, and asked if she and some students would be interested in helping <br /> with this project. She agreed and chose several students to participate. <br /> The City purchased disposable cameras for the students to take pictures around the City of things <br /> they liked and/or disliked. The cameras were picked up after a week and processed. The pictures <br /> were then returned to each student who took the pictures for their comments. <br /> The following presentation is a summary of their comments and input. <br /> Action Required by Council: <br /> No act' • - .. uired. <br /> A • • roved f o u 1 it lenda <br /> 1 1 ( R 64 7, <br /> Ron Bottoms, City ' onager Date <br />
