It's part of a new program that's reaching out to youth and trying to teach them about what happens inside city hall.
"Youth really don't feel like they have a chance to speak up," said Vanessa Saldana, another Mesa Verde High School junior.
"Local government can definitely be cool," said Marisa Brown, a spokesperson for the City of Citrus Heights.
"If they want to talk about concerns or questions they have going on in their own community, this is the perfect place to do it," Brown said.
"That sounds like an absolutely amazing idea, I would sign up for it in an instant," Bonilla said.
Petersen said she hopes council members pay attention to any concerns brought forward by teens.
And it's an effort to engage with the people who may one day be elected to fill these very city council seats.
Another idea is to invite middle school students to choose a local issue and present arguments for and against it during a live debate at the city council.
