MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk
DATE: 12/04/2024 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 Other Assignments), 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. At this time,
there are no Moorpark City Councilmembers serving in positions appointed by the City
Selection Committee.
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, shown in legislative format. The list includes the name of the entity and
the days and times of meetings. Some reorganization is required due to the vacancies
created by outgoing Councilmember Groff, and the Mayor Pro Tem selection. The City
Council has the discretion to make any desired changes at this time.
Item: 9.B.

Honorable City Council
12/04/2024 Regular Meeting
Page 2
The following Standing Committees and Other Assignments have vacancies at this time.
There are presently no Ad Hoc Committee vacancies.
Standing Committees
• Community and Economic Development (CEDC) Committee* (primary position)
• Transportation and Public Works Committee (alternate position)
*Note: Per City Council Policy Resolution Section 1.2.1 a CEDC Standing Committee
member also represents the City on countywide economic development groups including
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 2 of the Assignments List. It should be noted that Item A (General Plan Amendment
Pre-Screening Requests) on the list of CEDC oversight areas is being deleted as Section
17.44.050 of the City’s revised Zoning Code adopted on July 19, 2024, designates the
full City Council as the reviewing body.
Outside Appointments
The City Council Committee Assignments List also includes “Other Assignments” and
“Other Agency Appointments.” The positions listed under “Other Assignments” are made
at the discretion of the City Council; the positions listed under “Other Agency
Appointments” are made by other entities such as the City Selection Committee.
A brief description of the entities listed under “Other Assignments” is provided below:
California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA)
The City of Moorpark is a member of the CJPIA, the entity through which the City obtains
its insurance coverages and other risk management services. As a member, the City has
a seat on the CJPIA Board of Directors. The CJPIA Board of Directors holds an annual
meeting in July. Councilmember Groff has served as the City’s representative on the
CJPIA Board of Directors for the last two years. With the departure of Councilmember
Groff, a new representative is required.
Clean Power Alliance (CPA)
The Clean Power Alliance is a nonprofit organization that provides clean, renewable
energy to cities in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The City of Moorpark joined the
Clean Power Alliance (“CPA”) through the adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement on
January 17, 2018. Currently Councilmember Delgado serves as the City’s representative
on the Clean Power Alliance (appointed December 2022). With Councilmember Groff’s
departure, appointment of an alternate is required.
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
182
Honorable City Council
12/04/2024 Regular Meeting
Page 3
and is dedicated to the acquisition of land preservation as open space for wildlife and
native plant habitat, and for public recreation activities. The advisory body provides a
means for greater public participation and consists of 26 members. Membership is
defined under the California Public Resources Code (PRC), Section 33213 and was
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.
Beginning in 2021, Moorpark residents have been appointed as the City’s representative
to serve two-year terms to align with other Council Appointment terms. The term of the
current representative, Dr. Roseann Mikos, is scheduled to expire on December 31. In
anticipation of term expiration and pursuant to the City Council Policies Resolution, a
recruitment was opened seeking interested applicants. The Council has the discretion to
appoint a Councilmember this evening to serve as the City’s SMMCAC representative.
Alternately, the Council may interview applicants and make an appointment at the
December 18, 2024, Council meeting.
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, the Mayor
has historically been the City’s delegate, with Councilmembers or in some instances, City
staff serving as an alternate. A voting delegate and alternates will be required for the
Regional Conference and General Assembly scheduled on May 1 – 2, 2025, in Palm
Desert.
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
183
Honorable City Council
12/04/2024 Regular Meeting
Page 4
as city and county ordinances, services and the support of or opposition to state
legislation. Currently Councilmember Delgado serves as the City’s representative on the
Animal Services Commission.
Ventura County Council of Governments (VCOG)
The Ventura County Council of Governments is a joint powers authority that represents
the County of Ventura and its 10 cities. VCOG focuses on issues that affect the member
communities, working to meet regional needs and encouraging collaboration to address
issues of mutual concern. Mayor Enegren serves as the City’s representative, and
currently serves as Chair of VCOG.
Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC)
The Ventura County Transportation Commission is the transportation planning body for
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.
Three positions listed under “Other Assignments” on page 1 of the Council Committee
Assignments List have vacancies and require appointment of a new member and
alternates as appropriate:
• California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA)
• Clean Power Alliance (alternate member)
• Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) – General Assembly delegate
Additionally, the Council may consider changes to existing representation to the following
Other Assignments:
• Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee (SMMCAC)
• Ventura County Animal Services Commission (VCAS)
• Ventura County Council of Governments (VCOG)
• Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC)
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.

Fair Political Practice Commission requirements
Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) Regulation 18705.5 requires that Form 806 be
completed and published on the City’s website to report additional compensation that
public officials receive when appointing themselves to positions on committees, boards,
or commissions of a public agency, special district, or joint powers agency or authority. It
has been determined that the Ventura County Animal Services Commission and the
Ventura County Transportation Commission provide compensation for meetings
attended.
Councilmembers nominated for appointment to the Ventura County Animal Services
Commission or the Ventura County Transportation Commission may recuse themselves
and leave the dais while the remaining members of the Council make those appointments;
or Councilmembers may wish to participate in the vote for self-appointment, in which
case, the City would complete and post the FPPC Form 806 on the City’s website.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with Councilmember appointments to Boards,
Commissions, and Committees.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE

Agency Report of:
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.
