DISCUSSION
At the regular meeting of June 3, 2009, Council removed this item from calendar to
allow staff to prepare a staff report to consider a revision to Council Policy 6.7 to
increase the maximum number of Teen Council members from 11 to 15. There is a
separate report on the July 1, 2009, regular meeting to consider the increase in the
maximum membership.
Policy 6.7 establishes the minimum number of Teen Council appointees at no less than
7 and also includes the following appointment criteria: A goal of having a minimum of
one representative from each grade level from 7th grade to 12th grade; all
representatives must be City of Moorpark residents and must be enrolled in school;
special attention should be given to insure that all middle schools and high schools in
Moorpark have some representation on the Teen Council; and 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.
The Council's adopted procedure for appointments (Policy 2.2 (9.) in Resolution 2009-
2811) 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.
If the City Council approves the increase in the maximum membership, and if the
Council wants the maximum of 15 appointments for fiscal year 2009-2010, then staff
would need to be directed to go back out and recruit, since the maximum number of
applications received was 14.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Make appointments to the Teen Council for a one-year term to end on June 30, 2010.
