SUMMARY:
The City of Littleton is fully committed to representing, encouraging, and engaging emerging generations in the city. The NGAC was created in 2018 for a limited two-year pilot. The committee was commissioned by city council to support the city's vision statement with thoughtful, considerate and insightful recommendations, suggestions and feedback, on matters of city policy that directly impact the attraction and retention of young residents and employees.
The committee has 11 individuals from Littleton Public Schools, Arapahoe Community College and young residents, ages 17-34, who live or work in the city. Seven members of the committee were appointed to serve one-year terms and four members were appointed to serve two-year terms. The membership of the committee has dwindled to five active and very dedicated members. Only one of the active members has been appointed for a two-year term. Recruitment is scheduled for March - April and new appointees will be selected and begin their term in May 2020.
The active members developed a workplan for 2020 that includes three initiatives: recruitment of new NGAC members; planting trees throughout the city in celebration of Earth Day 2020 in partnership with the Littleton Garden Gang; and engagement of young residents, ages 17-34, who live or work in the city at community events. City council is scheduled to discuss the continuation of the committee beyond the limited two-year pilot in late summer/early fall 2020.
