Sec. 2-510. - Finding; vision; purpose.

The city council has found and determined that support of the city's youth should be a high priority of city government. In particular, the council's vision for youth development in the city is that individuals, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, the faith community, civic organizations, youth and government need to work collaboratively to foster an environment where the city's young people are healthy, educated, respected, valued and empowered so that they may become responsible citizens. The council further has found that in order to provide for the healthy growth and development of children and youth, the city must make families central to its development effort. This article, therefore, implements that judgment and vision by establishing a commission on youth and a mayor's youth commission.
