Recommendation: That, on the
recommendation of the City Clerk, the following actions be taken with respect
to increased engagement of post-secondary students in local government
through participation on advisory committees:
a) the
terms of reference for the following advisory committees BE AMENDED to
include a post-secondary student representative as a non-voting resource
member, to be appointed on an annual basis:
- Accessibility
Advisory Committee
- Advisory
Committee on the Environment
- Community
Safety and Crime Prevention Advisory Committee
- Creative
City Committee
- London
Advisory Committee on Heritage
- London
Diversity & Race Relations Advisory Committee
- London
Housing Advisory Committee
- Transportation
Advisory Committee;
it being noted that
while the Municipal Council’s current advisory committee structure already
permits many individuals who are post-secondary students to participate on
advisory committees as voting or non-voting members, this amendment will
allow those students who would might not otherwise be eligible for membership
on an advisory committee to participate as a non-voting member, in addition
to any existing youth non-voting members;
b) the
Fanshawe Student Union and the University Students’ Council, Western
University BE REQUESTED to:
i) advise
the City Clerk who their nominees are for the above-noted advisory committee
positions for the term ending February 28, 2014; and
ii) advise
the City Clerk who the contact will be for the Fanshawe Student Union and the
University Students’ Council, Western University, for providing the City
Clerk with future nominees to fill any vacancies as they arise.
