DISCUSSION
The Teen Council appointment process is included in the City Council Policies
Resolution No. 2006-2483. Teen Council Membership and organization requirements
are included in Resolution No. 2006-2483 as follows:
All appointments to the Teen Council shall be made by the Mayor of the City of
Moorpark, with approval of the City Council, consistent with the adopted Council
policy on procedure for appointments (Policy 5). The Teen Council shall consist
of no less than seven (7) and no more than eleven (11) members, with a goal of
having a minimum of one (1) 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.
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 5 in Resolution 2006-2483)
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 to end on June 30, 2008.
