HIGH SPRINGS ‒ Leila Ceilley, Camden Treese, Aiden Bloodworth, Anna Weitz, Sam Nichol and Elijah Kellum have been appointed to the High Springs Mayor’s Youth Council. The Youth Council was established by the High Springs City Commission to promoted youth involvement in local government.
At the Dec. 14 High Springs City Commission, the Commission unanimously appointed five members and one alternative member to the Mayor’s Youth Council.
The City Commission modified the original Ordinance for the Mayor's Youth Council in July to consist of five members rather than the previous seven with two alternates.
One the City received enough applications to create the board, the Commission agreed that two of the members should be appointed to one-year terms and the other three appointed to two-year terms to preserve Board continuity.
Based on their remaining time in high school Leila Ceilley and Camden Treese were named to one-year terms, Aiden Bloodworth, Anna Weitz and Sam Nichol were named to two-year terms. Elijah Kellum was named as alternate as he is a senior. Kellum will be able to vote along with the rest of the Council members.
Council members will work with the City to set a date for their first meeting when they will elect their own chair and vice chair.
