MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Burd stated that Government Day was a success. The students held a mock City Council Meeting that last 3 hours. She hopes to have the tape of it put on the City website. The student acting as the attorney was fantastic and kept coming up with legal items. This particular student wants to go into municipal law so he was perfect for this. She felt that the student acting as Mayor also did a fantastic job. She will be volunteering at the City 1/2 day per week as she wants to become more involved in government, The students were asked to watch City Council meetings in advance so that they can debate and role play as aldermen. She stated that there were some heated discussions and an executive session that was very lively. It was a great networking tool for the students. In the future, students will be given information sheets from department heads so that staff members don't have to whisper information in their ears during the mock meeting. Additionally, she feels the students should be groomed more on Roberts Rules. She did envision that the students would have an opportunity to shadow employees before, but that did not work out. The committee thought they would have more involvement during the event. Mayor Burd feels that would be appropriate in the future. She also feels it would be appropriate for the committee to become more involved with youth programs. When asked if the 1 school had a volunteer program, Mayor Burd replied that they don't have it anymore, but she will discuss this matter with the new Superintendent when she meets with him soon. He is seeking input from people around the City to get feedback on the district.
