If the city council is going to appoint a youth councilman
to its council, there are things that should be taken into consideration other than
simply being the choice of a "youth commission." The biggest concern would be that this
recommended choice may simply be the student who was able to win the popularity contest.
The city council should consider the recommended candidate but should also ensure that
the new appointee has the appropriate oral and written communication skills, as well as
the minimum necessary education that would provide a fundamental understanding of city
government and how a city operates. The city council should allow young people to apply
and interview for the position as they might for any other
position.
