Teen Council Advisor who could get teens interested and attract a diverse group. Discussion
ensued. Mr. Johnson reported what other cities have done. Mr. Hanson recommended that a new
enabling resolution for the Teen Council and Advisor be adopted by the City Commission.
The Committee discussed whether we could consider an applicant that did not live in Atlantic
Beach. Mr. Hanson explained the research he did indicated that there has not been a residency
requirement for the Teen Council Advisor.
3. Interview candidates (listed below) that are interested in serving as Teen Council
Advisor and make a recommendation.
*New candidates:
A. Lisa Kamm
B. Lizzie Byrnes
The Committee interviewed Ms. Kamm. The purpose of the interview and an overview of the
duties and responsibilities of the Teen Council and Teen Council Advisory were explained. Ms.
Kamm explained her personal accomplishments, goals and interests in the community. The
Committee offered her the opportunity to ask questions and the Committee responded to those
questions.
Ms. Byrnes was not present for her interview.
The Committee discussed the candidates and made the following recommendation to fill the
vacancy of the Teen Council Advisor.
Motion: Recommend appointing Lisa Kamm pursuant to old /existing enabling resolution.

4. Discussion on the Cultural Arts & Recreation Advisory Committee (CARAC)
recommendation regarding membership.
Mr. Johnson reported that the Cultural Arts & Recreation Advisory Committee (CARAC)
recommended that all members be regular members and not have the Teen Council member or
Teen Council Advisor be a member of the CARAC.
The Committee concurred and explained it's a mute point since the applicant being recommended
for Teen Council Advisor is not a citizen of Atlantic Beach and the requirement for CARAC
membership requires residency within the City.
