MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk
DATE: 01/18/2023 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Presentation from Applicant for Arts Commission and
Appoint Two Commissioners to Serve on the Arts Commission for a
Two-Year Term Expiring December 31, 2024
BACKGROUND
Every two years following the General Municipal Election, the City Council makes
appointments to the City’s Arts, Parks and Recreation, and Planning Commissions
pursuant to the provisions of the Moorpark Municipal Code (MMC), Title 2
(Administration and Personnel) and the current City Council Policies Resolution.
Policy 2.2 states Commission applicants are required to attend a regular or special City
Council meeting, as scheduled by the City Clerk, to make a brief presentation on
qualifications and interest in the appointment and failure to attend will result in
disqualification for appointment.
Consideration of Commission applicants was agendized for the December 21, 2022,
City Council meeting. The morning of the meeting, one Arts Commission applicant
contacted the City Clerk’s Office to advise they would be unable to attend the meeting
either in-person or via Zoom due to illness, and indicated they were aware that their
application for reappointment would be unable to be considered. The Council Policy
and illness of the applicant was provided as part of the staff presentation.
At the meeting, the City Council considered the circumstances and unanimously moved
to set aside the Council Policy regarding disqualification for lack of applicant attendance
to provide the opportunity to present at a subsequent meeting. The Council received
presentation from the five applicants in attendance, and voted to appoint three members
to the Arts Commission, with the balance of the two positions to be filled at a future
meeting.
Following the Council action, the City Clerk contacted the applicant, Charles Blaugrund,
to request attendance at the January 18, 2023, meeting to provide a presentation after
which the Mayor would solicit nominations and make appointments to fill the remaining
two Arts Commission positions.
