City Council Approves Youth Advisory Council’s Sustainable Shopping Recommendation
November 12, 2018 - The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is a group of 30 students from all four HSD high schools and Hillsboro Online Academy who have been selected to provide a youth voice to our city government. They develop, organize, and manage community events and programs, and serve on city boards and commissions. On Tuesday, Nov. 6, City Council unanimously approved YAC’s recommendation to ban single-use plastic bags at retailers starting in July 2019. Called the Sustainable Shopping Initiative, the students’ recommendation was based on several months of research as well as feedback from more than 1,000 residents. The Council will vote again on the matter for final approval during a second reading on Nov. 20.
