SAN CLEMENTE : Youth to Have Voice in Parks, Recreation
Students at the junior and senior high school levels will have a voice in planning their recreation facilities following a recent approval by the City Council of a Youth Advisory Committee to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
The seven-member committee will be made up of city residents between the ages of 12 and 18, according to a plan from Bruce Wegner, parks and recreation manager. There will be three junior high and four high school students on the panel.
Applications will be accepted by the commission beginning next month for those interested in serving the first term from April to September. Beginning in September, commission members appointed by the commission will serve for a full one-year term.
Two commissioners will also serve on the youth committee, which will meet once a month.
