on time for the November meeting to ensure that the guests who will
be attending the meeting have confidence in the member's ability to
sponsor this event.

B. Assignment of Committee Liaisons
After extensive discussion, review of meeting times of various Council
appointed committees, and comments regarding the functions of these
committees, it was decided that no official liaisons would be assigned but
that Committee members would attend meetings of interest as their
schedules permit. Samantha Cortese inquired and Mrs. Scully responded
that attendance at various committee meetings does count towards
community service hours, as does participation on the Youth Committee
itself, and waivers from the school to participate in such activities should be
directed to her for authorization and signature.

Mrs. Scully reminded the Committee that they must return permission slips
distributed with parent/legal guardian signatures at the November 1st meeting.
Failure to do so will require that individuals be cropped out of the 2006 calendar
photo.
Mrs. Scully reminded the Committee that as Council appointees, the responsibility
for attendance and participation at meetings and sponsored activities falls on the
shoulders of members rather than their parents or City staff.
Mrs. Scully reminded the Committee that she needs as much notice as possible to
prepare letters of recommendation for college and scholarships and added that the
request for such documents must be generated by individual Committee members.
Mrs. Scully noted that even though she is not often at her desk, voice mail
messages may be left for her at 346-0611, extension 352. This service is available
round the clock.
Mrs. Scully reported that a new Committee member will be appointed at the October
13, 2005, City Council meeting.
