AC1'ION:
Deborah S. Traffenstedt, ATCM /City Clerk
DATE: September 21, 2004 (CC Meeting of 10/6/04)
SUBJECT: Consider Teen Council Appointment to Fill One
Vacancy
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On June 16, 2004, the City Council made the following
appointments to the Teen Council for the one -year term
beginning July 1, 2004, and ending June 30, 2005: Aryan
Aziz (9th grade) , Kelsey Butzer (8th grade), Brianna Corzine
(11th grade), Taylor Fernandez (12th grade), Paul Jafar (9th
grade), Jon Lamberson (10th grade), Roxanna Moradi (10th
grade), Sergio Pacheco (12th grade) , Hilary Pemberton (9th
grade), Allyson Rueckert (12th grade), and Gregory Smith (7th
grade).
Sergio Pacheco (a 12th grade representative) has recently
resigned due to other commitments. Staff is requesting
that the City Council take one of the following two
actions: 1) Make one appointment to fill the vacancy using
the prior recruitment (see attached agenda report for the
June 16 meeting and applications that will be provided
under separate cover); or 2) Determine that no additional
appointment is required due to the fact that there are ten
remaining members on the Teen Council and a minimum of one
representative from each grade level from 7th grade to 12th
grade (consistent with the adopted Teen Council appointment
policy, which allows for a minimum of seven and no more
than eleven members, with a goal of having a minimum of
one representative from each grade level from 7th grade to
12th grade) .

Staff's understanding is that there has only been one
meeting of the Teen Council held since the June
appointments, so if a new appointment is made, there would
be minimal catch -up time involved.
The Council's adopted procedure for appointments (Policy 5
in Resolution No. 2004 -2160) 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 then 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
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.

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 Pages 1 and 2 of this
report, Brittany Best and Shauna Marsh have served on Teen
Council for two years (2002 -2004) and Aryan Aziz, Hilary
Pemberton, Jon Lamberson, Taylor Fernandez, and Sergio
Pacheco have served for one year (2003- 2004). It is
recommended a representative from each Moorpark school and
each grade level be considered for appointment.
The Council's adopted procedure for appointments (Policy 5
in Resolution No. 2004 -2160) is as follows:
A. The Mayor shall solicit suggested nominees from
members of the Council.
B. Prior to making a motion for appointment, the
