DISCUSSION
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 2.2). Additionally, consistent with Policy 6.7 §3, the Teen Council
shall consist of no less than seven (7) and no more than fifteen (15) members, with a goal
of having a minimum of one (1) representative from each grade level from 7th grade to
12th grade. In the event there are sixteen (16) applications, Policy 2.2 states that the
Council may appoint sixteen (16) members if it determines doing so would help meet the
goal of having at least 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 ensure 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. None of the current
applicants have served more than two years on the Teen Council.
The City Council’s adopted procedure for appointments (Policy 2.2 [10.]) in Resolution
(2018-3763) is as follows:
A. The Mayor shall solicit suggested nominees from members of the Council.
B. Prior to making a motion for appointments, the Mayor shall announce the
names of all persons he/she intends to nominate, for the Teen Council.
C. The Mayor shall then make a motion putting forth all the names to be
approved for appointment to the Teen Council
D. A second shall be required.
E. The Council shall vote on the one motion to appointment the Teen Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Make appointments to the Teen Council for a one-year term beginning July 1, 2019 and
ending June 30, 2020.
