TO: Honorable City Council --
FROM: Maureen Benson, City Clerk
DATE: January 24, 2013 (CC Meeting of 2/6/13)
SUBJECT: Consider Vacancies on the Teen Council
BACKGROUND
On January 24, 2013, two members of the Teen Council notified staff via email that they
would need to resign due to conflicting work schedules. There are 13 remaining
members on the Teen Council with a term expiring in June 2013, which is less than six
months away.
DISCUSSION
According to Council Policy, the Teen Council may consist of no less than 7 and no
more than 15 members. There are two options concerning these vacancies on the
Teen Council: 1) Determine recruitment to fill the vacancies not be pursued at this time
due to the length of the remaining term in office; or 2) Direct staff to begin recruitment to
fill the vacancy for a term ending June 2013.
Policy 2.2 of the Council's Policy Resolution No. 2012-3091 gives the Council discretion
that a citizen appointment vacancy may not be filled due to the length of the remaining
term office.
"When an unscheduled vacancy occurs for any City Council citizen appointment, and six (6)
months or less will remain in the citizen appointment term following a thirty (30)-day recruitment,
the City Clerk will request the City Council give direction on whether to recruit or leave the
appointment position vacant. When more than six(6) months will remain in the appointment term
following a 30-day recruitment, recruitment will be initiated and notice of the vacancy will be
posted not later than twenty (20) days after the vacancy occurs in the office of the City Clerk, at
the Moorpark Library, on the City's website, on the local government channel, and at the City
Community Center(in compliance with the Maddy Act requirements). Advertisement of the citizen
appointment opportunity will be initiated by the City Clerk in the same manner as for an expiring
term, unless the City Council determines that the vacancy will not be filled due to the length of the
remaining term of office."
