Councilman Bradley thought some consideration might be given to covering ages 13 to 26 years at a later time through amendment, etc. Councilwoman Beal re- ferred to the Mayor's Committee on Aging that still functions outside the human . rights ordinance in addition to the Commission on Rights of Aging. She sug- gested the ad hoc youth committee might continue in the same manner. At Mayor Anderson's suggestion, Mr. Keller moved second by Mr. Haws to authorize appointment of three Council members and three youth ad hoc committee members to develop a proposed ordinance to provide for a youth commission outside the human rights ordinance with a target age group of 13 to 18 years, which commission would direct its atten- tion to advocacy and involvement of youth in the community. Mayor Anderson said he was not suggesting inclusion of enforceability factor be- cause problems with the human rights ordinance would delay further the creation of a youth commission. Councilman Bradley thought creation of an organization outside the human rights ordinance a separate issue. Councilman Murray noted that the motion did not leave out the possibility of tying the group back to the Human Rights Council. Mr. Keller thought the motion as stated would give more flexibility and freedom for the group to work. Mr. Bradley moved to delete the portion of the motion for creation of the commission "outside the human rights ordinance." There was no second. Jim Williams thought it important to realize that some people thought the commis- sions were legal advocates, regardless of age. He noted there was discrimina- -- tion against people between the ages of 13 and 18, and to leave the group out- side the human rights ordinance would leave out the possibility for hearings. He felt that issue should still be open for discussion. Councilman Murray said the existing human rights ordinance and the Human Rights Council would provide that legal avenue. Vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried unanimously. F. Planning Commission Recommendations - June 1, 1976 1. Change of Sign District at northeast corner of 3rd Avenue and Mill Street _ From Industrial to Pedestrian Auto (City)(Z 76-10) II-A-2 I Jim Saul, planner, explained that when this area was zoned from M-2 to C-l i in 1973 the Commission recommended sign district change to pedestrian auto. However, the recommendation did not get to the Council with the zone change recommendation. Upon re-examination, the Commission feels the pedestrian auto sign district is appropriate because of the existing commercial zoning. No ex parte contacts or reasons for conflict of interest were declared by Council members. Planning Commission staff notes and minutes of June 1, 1976 were received as part of this record. Public hearing was held with no testimony presented. !
