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. 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. Note the Council has
discretion in appointing an applicant who has served more than three terms, as would be
the case for applicant Trevor Sherman.
The Council's adopted procedure for appointments (Policy 2.2 (9.) in Resolution 2012-
3091) 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, 2013.
