DISCUSSION
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. City Council Policy 6.2. [3.]
states "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." Teen Council applicant, Olivia Ordin is applying for a fourth term on the
Teen Council; however, there were only 15 applicants so her reappointment would not
eliminate any other teen from serving on the Teen Council. She may be appointed without
waiving rules.
The City Council's adopted procedure for appointments (Policy 2.2 [9]) in Resolution
2014-3294) is as follows:
A. The Mayor shall solicit suggested nominees from members of the Council.
B. Prior to making a motion for appointment, the Mayor shall announce the
names of all persons he/she intends to nominate, and in the order to be
nominated, for a board, commission, or committee.
C. The Mayor shall then make a motion putting forth each individual name to be
approved for appointment.
D. A second shall be required.
E. The Council shall vote on each appointment individually.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Make appointments to the Teen Council for a one-year term ending June 30, 2015.
