FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk
DATE: 12/18/2024 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Presentation from Applicant for Santa Monica Mountains

Representative to Serve a Two-Year Term
BACKGROUND
As part of the establishment of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the
subsequent creation of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee
(SMMCAC) in 1991 under the California Public Resources Code, the City of Moorpark
received a seat on the Advisory Committee beginning in 1992. Historically this position
has been filled by a Councilmember.
Following City Council reorganization in 2020 and as part of the Council Appointments
process, staff was directed to open a recruitment for interested members of the public to
serve a two-year term, and on January 6, 2021, the Council appointed resident Bruce
Thomas the SMMCAC. Following Council reorganization in 2022, a recruitment was
directed and on December 21, 2022, resident David Ross was appointed as the City’s
representative. Mr. Ross was unable to complete his term and following a recruitment
to fill this unscheduled vacancy, resident Dr. Roseann Mikos was appointed to complete
the term scheduled to conclude on December 31, 2024.
At its reorganization meeting on December 4, 2024, Council Appointments were made
with Council directing that interested applicants would be considered at its
December 18, 2024, meeting following the close of the active recruitment.
DISCUSSION
In anticipation of the City Council wishing to consider a citizen-appointment for the
2025-2026 term on the SMMCAC, the City Clerk’s Office initiated recruitment on
November 13, 2024, seeking individuals interested in filling the upcoming vacancy.
Recruitment closed on Monday, December 9, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. One application from
the incumbent representative, Dr. Roseann Mikos, was received and is attached to the
staff report as public information.

What interests you about this citizen appointment and why do you believe you should be appointed?*
For 20 years (2001-2020), I was the City of Moorpark’s representative on the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy
Advisory Committee (SMMCAC), when I was a member of the City Council. I gained valuable experience doing so.
Since being reappointed to serve from 09/11/2023 to present, I have gained more experience. I would like to be
reappointed by the City Council, as I feel that I have been a very effective representative and would be so again.
Clearly, I will have more experience with SMMCAC than could any other applicant.
I know all the players at the conservancy, having built these relationships over more than 20 years and I believe that
it would benefit the City of Moorpark as well as the SMMC and SMMCAC to reappoint me to serve on the advisory
committee. I also have significant knowledge of the entire Santa Monica Conservancy Zone jurisdictions and the issues
facing them because of my long experience on the committee. I welcome the chance to stay involved with the city for
this.

Additionally, since 1983, and before being elected, I was a citizen activist who regularly spoke at city council
meetings about issues of importance to me and my friends and neighbors. It was the local community members
who first urged me to run for office in 1998 because of my leadership on the open space and local control issues
facing our city. After my term on council finished, I continued to do the same, especially assisting on the
recently passed Moorpark General Plan 2050 Update.
I participate in numerous local fundraisers or golf tournaments yearly, such as for the Moorpark Foundation for
the Arts, the Moorpark Boys and Girls Club, Moorpark Chamber of Commerce, Holy Cross Church Knights of
Columbus 9969 Foundation, Moorpark Education Foundation, Ruben Castro Charities, Moorpark Food Pantry,
Moorpark Mammoth Run/Rotary, and others.
