Agenda Item Summary:
During the regularly scheduled Rapid City Youth City Council meeting held on the 19th of March 2024, present voting members expressed a desire to support Euana Matute in fully engaging in her new NLC – Council on Youth, Education, and Families role by unanimously passing the following motion:

“The Rapid City Youth City Council is requesting the approval of an expenditure in the amount of up to $3,500 from the Youth City Council budget, for the purpose of sending Euana Matute to the November 2024 National League of Cities - City Summit.”

• Euana Matute’s new role is one that shines a bright light in the direction of the Rapid City Community. She was 1 of 4 youth selected to serve on the council, which is an honor in itself.
• The current approved 2024 Rapid City Youth City Council Budget outlines $26,000 for Training and Travel. After all expenditures were tabulated from the NLC – Congressional City Conference, the total was $22,981.78 from their $26,000 budgeted amount for travel and training. The total leftover to use for this trip would be $3, 018.22.
• Pennington County Sheriff’s Department has committed to providing ½ of RCYCC budget expenditures overall. In this proposal, the City of Rapid City portion would be $1509.11 and Pennington County portion would be $1509.11. The school is researching options for staff to support Euana on this trip.
