Title
Presentation: 2022 Citizen's Leadership Academy Graduation Recognition
Body
The first Citizens Leadership Academy was held in 2011, in response to a suggestion from LS 360. An Academy has been held every year except 2015 and 2021.
Participants in the 2022 Academy will be presented a certificate of completion as they "graduate" from the academy before the Mayor and Council.
The 2022 Citizens Leadership Academy has been completed. We began with 25 participants enrolled in the Academy and 14 were able to attend a majority of the sessions and thereby successfully "graduating" from the Academy. The final session, held on Saturday, May 14, 2022, included a mock city council meeting for the Pseudo City and discussed things such as; a medical marijuana dispensary special use permit, a preliminary development plan for a mega box store, a feral cat ordinance and much more. Participants held the positions of Councilmembers and Management Staff.
City Staff stepped up again this year and enthusiastically participated in this program and the participants saw the dedication and professionalism of each presenter.
