DISCUSSION
The Teen Council appointment process is included in the City
Council Policies Resolution No. 2002 -2040. Teen Council Membership
and organization requirements are included in Resolution No. 2002-
2040 as follows:
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 (Policy 5). 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 12th grade.
All representatives must be City of Moorpark residents
and must 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 21 applicants listed on Page 1 of this report, eight served
on the Teen Council in 2002 -2003. Shannon Pflaumer and Greg Priebe
have served the longest, having been appointed in October 2000, and
are not eligible for reappointment this year based on the three -
year limitation in the Council's adopted Teen Council policy.
The Council's adopted procedure for appointments (Policy 5 in
Resolution No. 2002 -2040) 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.
