MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk
DATE: 12/21/2022 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider City Council Standing Committees and Ad Hoc Committee
Appointments and Other Assignments
BACKGROUND
A list of appointments to Standing Committees, Ad Hoc Committees, and Other
Assignments reflecting City Councilmembers appointed to various bodies is maintained by
the City Manager’s Office. This list details the City’s representatives, and alternates as
applicable, the dates and times of meetings, and term of office for each appointment. The
list reflects two categories of appointments; those made by the City Council as a body
(Standing and Ad Hoc Committees), and those made by the City Selection Committee
comprised of the mayors of the 10 cities in Ventura County. Nominations for positions
appointed by the City Selection Committee are solicited based on identified vacancies as a
result of City Council reorganizations, and appointments are made by the City Selection
Committee at its annual meeting in January.
With respect to Council Standing Committees, the City Council’s Policies Resolution No.
2022-4097 includes the following language in Policy 1.2.:
“With the approval of the majority of the members of the City Council, the Mayor shall make
all appointments to Standing Committees of the City Council, including the designated
alternate. The appointments shall be made at the reorganization meeting.”
DISCUSSION
Attached to this report is the current list of City Council Committee Assignments for
consideration. Some reorganization is required due to vacancies created by the outgoing
Mayor and Councilmember, and by the appointment of Councilmember Groff as Mayor Pro
Tem selection. Further, at present there is one active ad hoc committee which the Council
may wish to consider changing representation for. Current vacancies are shown in
legislative format.

• Transportation and Public Works Committee
*Note: The CEDC Standing Committee member has historically been the City’s appointed
representative to the Economic Development Collaborative Ventura County (EDC-VC).
A list of the subject matter areas overseen by the Standing Committees can be found on
page 3 of the appointment list. Item H under the Community and Economic Development
Standing Committee has been struck as these issues have been addressed in the City’s

are made by other entities such as the City Selection Committee.

as appropriate:

Honorable City Council

Page 3
It should be noted that historically the Mayor has served as the City’s representative on the
California Joint Powers Insurance Authority and Ventura County Council of Governments,
although mayoral representation is not required under the bylaws of these entities.
Therefore, the Council has discretion on appointment to these two positions and may
choose to appoint the Mayor or another representative. The primary function of the
representative for the CJPIA is attendance at the Authority’s annual meeting held each
July. The primary function of the representative to VCOG is attendance and participation in
at the every-other-month meeting of this body that addresses issues of regional concern
among the 10 cities in the County.
Calleguas Municipal Water District Drought Task Force
The City of Moorpark receives water through Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1
which is purchased from the Calleguas Municipal Water District (CMWD). In response to
the statewide drought and requirements to decrease water usage to comply with state and
local mandates, CMWD formed a Drought Task Force to discuss regional issues,
challenges, and opportunities for water conservation. The City has a position on the Task
Force, formerly held by Councilmember Pollock, with Assistant Manager Gagajena and
Parks and Recreation Director Laurentowski serving as staff representatives. With
Councilmember Pollock’s departure, a vacancy exists to be filled.
Clean Power Alliance
The City of Moorpark joined the Clean Power Alliance (CPA - formerly Los Angeles
Community Choice Energy) through the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement on
January 17, 2018, and on February 7, 2018, the Council made Primary, Alternate and
Second Alternate Director appointments from members of the Council. In April 2018, the
Council voted to select a member of staff to serve as the Alternate Director. Former Mayor
Parvin, and Community Services Manager Jessica Sandifer have been the City’s
representatives to the CPA since that time. With Mayor Parvin’s departure, a vacancy
exists to be filled.
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) – General Assembly delegate
The Southern California Association of Governments, also known as SCAG, is the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for six of the ten counties in Southern California,
encompassing 191 cities and is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) under California state law.
As an MPO, SCAG is mandated by the federal government to study and prepare plans for
transportation, growth management, and air quality, and is responsible for the preparation
of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) mandated by state housing law,
among many other responsibilities.
Each year in April or May, SCAG convenes a meeting of the General Assembly at its
annual regional conference. Member cities confirm appointment of a delegate to vote on
policy matters presented by the General Assembly in the form of a Resolution. SCAG by-
laws entitle each city to one vote on matters effecting municipal or SCAG policy. Based on
seniority and the availability to attend the General Assembly meeting, Mayor Parvin has
historically been the City’s delegate, with Councilmember Pollock serving as an alternate,

or as the delegate in her absence. With the departure of Mayor Parvin and Councilmember
Pollock from the Council, a delegate and alternate are required for the Regional
Conference and General Assembly scheduled on May 4 and 5 in Palm Desert.
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee (SMMCAC)
The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee is an advisory body to the
Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC). The SMMC was established in 1980 is
dedicated to the acquisition of land preservation as open space for wildlife and native plant
habitat, and for public recreation activities. The SMMCAC is an advisory body providing a
means for greater public participation and consists of 26 members with membership
defined under the California Public Resources Code (PRC), Section 33213 as established
by Senate Bill 1455 (Schiff) adopted in 2000. The statute does not specify if the
appointment must be an elected official, staff member, or member of the public, only that
the appointment is made at the discretion of the City Council. Until 2020, a Councilmember
had served as the City’s SMMCAC representative. At that time, the City Council chose to
initiate a recruitment to fill the position and on January 6, 2021, Moorpark resident Bruce
Thomas was appointed for a two-year term as the City’s representative.
Given this upcoming expiring term, a recruitment was opened on November 7, 2022, and
closed on December 12, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. Interviews have been scheduled for tonight’s
meeting should the Council wish to consider interviewing then appointing a member of the
public to the SMMCAC.
Ventura County Animal Services Commission (VCAS)
The Ventura County Animal Services Commission is comprised of representatives from
each of the cities which contract for services with Ventura County Animal Services. The
Commission meets quarterly to serve as a policy level Commission regarding contract
Animal Services to the cities of Ventura County and the Ventura County Board of
Supervisors. They make recommendations to the Animal Services Director and the
Ventura County Board of Supervisors regarding Animal Services policies, programs,
service levels and fees. Additionally, they facilitate communication and collaboration
among the County and contract cities on Animal Services issues, including such matters as
city and county ordinances, services and the support of or opposition to State legislation.
Currently Mayor Enegren serves as the City’s representative on the Animal Services
Commission.
Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC)

Ventura County and oversees highway, bus, aviation, rail and bicycle activity and controls
the use of government funds for transportation projects. The Commission composed of all
five members of the County Board of Supervisors, one member from each City Council,
one citizen member representing Ventura County cities, and one citizen member
representing the County. Currently Mayor Enegren serves as the City’s representative on
VCTC.

Public Official Appointments
California
Form 806
A Public Document
Background
This form is used to report additional compensation that officials
receive when appointing themselves to positions on committees,
boards, or commissions of another public agency or to a
committee or position of the agency of which the public official is
a member.
This form is required pursuant to FPPC Regulation 18702.5.
Each agency must post on its website a single Form 806 which
lists all the paid appointed positions to which an official will vote
to appoint themselves. When there is a change in compensation
or a new appointment, the Form 806 is updated to reflect the
change. The form must be updated promptly as changes occur.
Instructions
This form must be posted prior to a vote (or consent item) to
appoint a governing board member if the appointee will participate
in the decision and the appointment results in additional
compensation to the appointee.
FPPC Regulation 18702.5 provides that as long as the public
is informed prior to a vote, an official may vote to hold another
position even when the vote results in additional compensation.
Part 1. Agency Identification
Identify the agency name and information on who should be
contacted for information.
Part 2. Appointments
Identify the name of the other agency, board or commission. List
the name of the official, and an alternate, if any.
List the appointment date and the length of term the agency
official will serve. Disclose the stipend provided per meeting and
the estimated annual payment. The annual salary is an estimate
as it will likely vary depending upon the number of meetings. It
is not necessary to revise the estimate at the end of the calendar
year.
Part 3. Verification
The agency head or his/her designee must sign the verification.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. When does an agency need to complete the Form 806?
A Form 806 is required when an agency’s board members
vote to appoint a board member to serve on another
governmental agency or position of the agency of which the
official is a member and will receive additional compensation.
2. The city council votes to serve as the city’s housing authority,
a separate entity. Will the Form 806 be required?
If the council members receive additional compensation for
serving on the housing authority, the Form 806 is required.
3. Are appointments made by a governing board to appoint
one of its members to serve as an officer of that board for
additional pay (e.g., mayor) required to be disclosed on Form
806?
No. FPPC Regulation 18702.5(b)(6) exempts from this
requirement decisions to fill a position on the body of which
the official is a member (such as a councilmember being
appointed as mayor) despite an increase in compensation.
4. In determining the income, must the agency include mileage
reimbursements, travel payments, health benefits, and other
compensation?
No. FPPC Regulation 18702.5 requires only the amount of
the stipend or salary to be reported.
5. Which agency must post the Form 806?
The agency that is voting to appoint a public official must post
the Form 806 on its website. The agency that the official will
serve as a member is not required to post the Form 806. The
form is not sent to the FPPC.
6. When must the Form 806 be updated?
The Form 806 should be amended promptly upon any of
the following circumstances: (1) the number of scheduled
meetings is changed, (2) there is a change in the
compensation paid to the members, (3) there is a change in
membership on the board or commission, or (4) there is a
new appointment to a new agency.
7. If officials choose to recuse themselves from the decision
and leave the room when a vote is taken to make an
appointment, must the Form 806 be completed?
No. The Form 806 is only required to identify those officials
that will vote on an appointment in which the official will also
receive additional compensation.
