Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Student Participant-March 18~' Council Meeting
DATE: March 14, 2008
Councilmember Lehman approached me concerning the possibility of accommodating
the request of a Shakopee High School Senior to "sit in" on the upcoming City Council
meeting. Shakopee High School Senior Jessica Laeger is taking a course on democracy,
and is writing a paper about political experience.
With Council's permission, we would like to have Ms. Laeger sit at the Council table
(next to the City Clerk) at the March 18~' meeting, so as to gain abetter experience as to
how a Council operates, and be able to ask questions relating to agenda items. Ms. Cox
noted that many years ago, the City Council did invite members of the community to sit
at the Council dais on occasion, for those who wished to have a better understanding of
City Government.
Mayor Schmitt will introduce Ms. Laeger. It would be useful for the student if each
Council member could take a moment or two to introduce themselves, and briefly explain
their political experience.
