Mayor's Youth Advisory Council Report: Secretary Layne Roberts and Fundraiser
Coordinator Erika Jenkins presented a quarterly report for the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council
(MYAC). Ms. Roberts reported during Thanksgiving and Christmas they volunteered at the
Idaho Falls Food Bank by handing out dinners for families in need. In addition, MYAC adopted
a family for Christmas in which they purchased and delivered gifts to the home.
Members also have plans to volunteer time for the Annual Iona Easter Egg Hunt by stuffing eggs
and helping with other tasks that may be needed. Ms. Jenkins reported on March 18th MYAC has
planned a fundraiser event. The event is a black light Spring Dance. Proceeds will be used to
donate to a local charity and help members attend the Annual Association of Idaho Cities (AIC)
Youth Conference in June. Mayor Andersen also reported MYAC will be taking the lead on the
4th of July breakfast as a fundraiser event. For full report please see Exhibit "A".
Water Committee's Recommendations: Mayor Andersen reported Chairman Lee Andersen
was unable to attend the meeting tonight. However, during the last Water Committee meeting it
was recommended the City Council needs to prioritize going through the water section of the
City Code book with the goal of making revisions and updates to the verbiage. Until the City can
define waste, they are recommending a watering schedule outlined in the City Code with tools to
enforce it. This will better equip the City to deal with people on an individual basis.
Additionally, they are recommending increasing education on water conservation and scheduling
a meeting for the individuals who use the irrigation ditches to establish a chairman who can
assist with organizing and managing the City's ditches.
Water Initiative and Referendum Discussion: Mayor Andersen discussed the Water Initiative
and Referendum. He explained Dennis Bateman has presented this proposal to the City with the
request to change sections 8-2-3 and 8-2-27 of the Iona City Code, Exhibit `B". Mayor Andersen
explained the changes in verbiage would allow the citizens to have a vote prior to any wholesale
water meter installation throughout the City. Mayor Andersen explained it will be discussed
primarily during the City Council meeting. However, he wanted to gather input and thoughts
from the Council during the work session.

Community Service Projects:
• Idaho Food Bank — During Thanksgiving and Christmas MYAC had the
opportunity to volunteer at the Idaho Community Food Bank. We assisted
with handing out Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to families in need.
It was a very rewarding and eye opening experience. They service
approximately 1,000 families a month.
• Christmas Family Adoption — MYAC adopted a family for Christmas this
year. It's always a rewarding experience to be able to give to others.
• Iona Easter Egg Hunt — MYAC will be volunteering to help with the
City's Annual Easter Egg Hunt by stuffing eggs, and assisting with other
tasks that may be needed. We look forward to being involved in a
community event.
Fundraising & Actives:
• Spring Dance Planning — MYAC is hosting a black light Spring Dance on
March 18th located in the Iona Community Center Gym. We have plans to
split the proceeds between a local charity and to help members attend the
upcoming AIC Annual Youth Conference in June. We are hoping to send
at least 4 members. Cost of the dance is $5.00 a person or $8.00 for two.
Leadership Speaker Opportunities: MYAC is always looking for
inspirational speakers to come present to our youth. If you know of anyone who
would be interested please contact our advisor Shara Roberts.
