Show Youth city council reports The Pleasant Grove Youth City Council met with the regular City Council Tuesday to explain their goals for the year and report on activities to date. Mayor Cedele Smith, youth mayor, reported that the group had sponsored a Mock Election at Pleasant Grove High School. The vote for President Reagan was about 279 to 6 votes for Mondale. She said all of the Republican candidates won handily. They called all of the local candidates and told them how they had fared in the high school election. They even called the White House and received a call back, even though they did not get to talk to the president himself. Other goals, in addition to the mock election held Nov. 1, include relocation of the city Christmas Tree, a Sub-for-Santa Dance at the Community Center as a fund raiser for Christmas service projects, listing community projects for Eagle Scout candidates, scout troops and other service organizations, identifying and improving hazardous hazar-dous street corners. They also propose to continue the Anti-Vandalism Week begun a few years ago, hold a Drug and Alcohol Abuse Awareness Week, and they plan to change two city ordinances: the curfew law and the snowball ordinance. Mayor David Holdaway reported that the Youth City Council will be sworn in at the next City Council meeting on Nov. 20. The youth council will be given time to report at one city council meeting each month. |
