Youth Services Board proposed

Councillor Iain Angus wants to create a Youth Services Board for organizations that provide activities for area youngsters.  Angus says he came up with the idea for a board after the Underground Gym asked for municipal funds.  He says it's a way for Council to show leadership.  Councillor Rebecca Johnson says there are already a number of youth committees; so why would they reinvent something they already have.  Councillor Joe Virdiramo and Mayor Keith Hobbs
said they like the idea of the board but they don't think it's the right time to embark on the project.  The proposal is being put on hold and will be discussed again during the Strategic Planning Process.
