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 City Council Policy 2.2, 6.4, and the Parks,
Recreation & Community Services’ Departmental Policies Manual.
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, 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.
Currently, 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 Policy for appointments (Policy 2.2.10.) 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.
