CC - Item 3D - Ad Hoc Youth Commitee AppointmentROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 25, 2009
SUBJECT: YOUTH AD HOC COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT
SUMMARY
On June 2, 2009, the City Council held a special meeting to interview and appoint seven
(7) committee members to the Youth Ad Hoc Committee (Committee). The City Council
interviewed various candidates and appointed six members to the committee; two (2) at-
large members and four (4) members representing middle/intermediate or high schools,
with the exception of Muscatel Middle School. On June 23, 2009, the City Council
scheduled a Special Council meeting to interview two candidates for the seat
representing Muscatel Middle School; however, the candidates cancelled their
interviews.
The City continued with recruiting efforts and on July 30, 2009, the City Clerk's office
received one application from Taymar Quezada (Attachment A) who is a student at
Muscatel Middle School. Given that there were no other applicants and training for the
new committee members was scheduled for July 31, 2009 and August 1, 2009, staff
and the Mayor thought it was appropriate to appoint Ms. Quezada to the Committee to
ensure representation from Muscatel Middle School.
Staff Recommendation
Staff requests that City Council ratify the Mayor's appointment of Taymar Quezada to
the Ad Hoc Youth Committee.

How long have you lived in Rosemead? 13 years (all my life)
School: Muscatel Middle School Grade Level: 8
Why are you interested in serving as a Committee Member? Please describe any work,
training, certificates; and/or membership in student organizations that would qualify you
for this position. (if additional space is required, please attach separate sheets)
I am interested in serving as a Committe Member because f love working with people, I love my
city that I grew up in and have made so many friends in, and would love to help make our city a
better place and more fun for everyone, especially for the youth. I feel I am qualified for this
position due to my academic achievement and well-roundedness.
I have been a GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) student since 4th grade at Shuey
Elementary. Last year at Muscatel, my classwork included Honors Social Studies, Honors
Language Arts, and Honors Science, and I had a GPA of 4.0 for the last two quarters of the year.
I am currently volunteering my time this summer as a part-time assistant, helping Mrs.
Magdalene, with the children at the City of Rosemead Summer Camp held at the Rosemead
Community Center.
In sports, I have been playing All-Star youth soccer at Rosemead and Temple City AYSO for the
past 7 years. This past year, I was a part of two West San Gabriel Valley championship AYSO
teams, playing as center midfielder--the communication leader on both teams.
I am a frequent visitor to the Rosemead Library where I routinely check out 25 books at a time.
really love to read! I am also in the Muscatel Band. I have played Alto Saxophone and flute for
the past 4 years, and really enjoy all that music brings to my life. I enjoy all forms of
entertainment, especially books, movies, music, and online social and text networking. I enjoy
my many friendships with friends--especially friends in higher grades--and love to help my
teachers. I have a lot of ideas that I would love to share about how to better engage the youth
from Muscatel and our city.
Please note any personal, school, or extra curriculum activities that would be in conflict
with your serving as a Committee Member:
I have soccer matches on Saturday mornings. I will have Band parades also on certain Saturdays
(2 or 3 throughout the school year.)
