Agenda Item Summary:
During the regularly scheduled Rapid City Youth City Council (RCYCC) meeting held on the 11th of February and 18th of March, present voting members unanimously passed the following motion:

“The Rapid City Youth City Council approves the Bylaws with revisions as written.”

During the January Youth City Council meeting, community engagement was discussed and so a bylaws workgroup was formed. From that workgroup, additional revisions were brought forward at the February YCC meeting. The revisions included a grammatical change in Article III Section 6 (E) and a new proposal for Section 6 (F) in addition to the removal of Article IV Section 3 (B). When voted upon, they approved the grammatical change of Article III Section 6 (E) and the Article IV Section 3 (B) removal at the February 11th meeting, yet wanted to continue to work on the newly proposed Section 6 (F). Between the February 11th and March 18th meeting, they brought the following revisions to the full Youth City Council which was approved unanimously.

Article III Section 6 (E) – grammatical change

(E) Each month members are responsible for attending a minimum of one supplemental meeting: committee meeting, workgroup meeting, RCYCC event, or Common Council meeting; failure to do for two months during your term will result in executive review of membership. Each month, members must participate in at least one supplemental activity, such as an RCYCC committee meeting, workgroup meeting, RCYCC event, or Common Council meeting. Failure to meet this requirement for two consecutive months during a term will result in an executive review of membership.

Article III Section 6 (F) – new item

(F) Each month, members are strongly encouraged to attend at least one city committee meeting as an RCYCC liaison.

Article IV Section 3 (B) – removal of this item

(B) No member may hold one single office for more than two consecutive years.
