C. Review of Youth Advisory Board By-laws, Attendance Requirement, Roster and Terms - Traci
Stengle, Special Services Superintendent, Georgetown Parks and Recreation
Traci Stengle reviewed the board By-laws with the board including the board purpose, number of
members, terms of office, officer duties, voting, attendance and vacancies. Excessive absenteeism is
failure to attend 75% of regularly schedule meetings, including board meetings and subcommittee
meetings. Special meetings and subcommittee meeting options were also reviewed. Board member
contact information was updated by those in attendance. Review of member terms revealed that they
may be some discrepancies in the terms for Thomas Janes, Jacqueline Massey, and Hannah Pierce, and
Alyssa Hyle. Traci Stengle will review records in order to confirm roster terms are correct.
D. Update on Summit Focus Groups—Traci Stengle, Special Services Superintendent, Georgetown
Parks and Recreation
Traci Stengle reported that a recent Collaborative Meeting hosted a guest speaker that spoke on suicide
prevention and training. This particular group may be assisting with the focus group for that topic.
The Georgetown Project is currently working with organizational leaders to help guide the discussion for
each focus group. once dates, times, and locations for the focus groups are decided, Youth Advisory
Board members will be invited to attend one of the focus groups and report any findings back to the
board. The focus groups may bring light to additional needs of the community and lead to additional
ideas for action items for the Youth Advisory Board.

Traci Stengle shared with the board that we have permission to setup a web page off our Georgetown
Parks and Recreation web site. We can also work on creating a logo that would represent the board.
The Special Events and Marketing Coordinator, Addison Elliott, has agreed to assist the board with
setting up this page. She will be invited to the next board meeting to discuss the next phase. Hannah
Peirce also suggested inviting the art clubs to assist with logo ideas. Traci Stengle re -iterated that the
logo should also represent the community as a whole and not just GHS.
