RECOMMENDATION
Local youth have expressed a desire to become more involved in the Downey community.
It is important that we empower our youth to increase their civic participation and to
understand how local government works. To foster knowledge of and involvement in civic
life, I would like the Council to consider the institution of a Youth in Government Day and
direct staff to organize a day for the youth of Downey to gain firsthand knowledge of City
government.
