Honorable City Council
Teen Council Appointments
City Council Meeting of September 4, 2002
Page 2
All appointments to the Teen Council shall be made by the Mayor of
the City of Moorpark, with approval of the City Council, consistent
with the adopted Council policy on procedure for appointments. The
Teen Council shall consist of no less than seven (7) and no more
than eleven (11) members, with a goal of having a minimum of one
(1) representative from each grade level from 7th grade to 12 t`'
grade.
All representatives must be City of Moorpark residents and be
enrolled in school. Special attention should be given to insure
that all middle schools and high schools in Moorpark have some
representation on the Teen Council. Representatives would typically
be limited to not serving more than a total of three years on the
Teen Council to allow more teens the opportunity to serve as a Teen
Council representative.
Of the eleven applicants listed above, seven served on the Teen
Council in 2001 -2002 and two also served in 2000 -2001. None of the
applicants exceed two years on the Teen Council (Shannon Pflaumer
and Greg Priebe have served the longest, having been appointed in
October 2000).
The Council's adopted procedure for appointments is as follows:
A. The Mayor shall solicit suggested nominees from members
of the Council.
B. Prior to making a motion for appointment, the Mayor shall
announce the names of all persons he /she intends to
nominate, and in the order to be nominated, for a board,
commission, or committee.
C. The Mayor shall make a motion putting forth each
individual name to be approved for appointment.
D. A second shall be required.
E. The Council shall vote on each appointment individually.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
