SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AMENDING AD HOC YOUTH COMMITTEE
MEMBERSHIP SELECTION
SUMMARY
At its regular meeting on February 10, 2009, City Council passed a resolution
establishing an Ad Hoc youth Committee. Section 2 of Resolution 2009 -07 reads as
follows:
The Committee shall consist of seven (7) voting members appointed by
the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. One member shall
represent each of the middle (or intermediate) and high schools with a
minimum enrollment of three hundred (300) students of which forty
percent (40 %) are Rosemead residents. Remaining committee members
shall be selected at- large. All committee members must be current
seventh (7 through twelfth (12 grade students thirteen (13) to eighteen
(18) years old and must reside in Rosemead.
Interest in serving on the Ad Hoc Youth Committee has waned in recent years. There is
concern that restricting membership to the Committee by school representation may be
a contributing factor to the limited number of applicants. As a result, Council Member
Steven Ly is requesting that committee membership be amended to eliminate the
school attendance restriction, thereby making all members at- large. Thus, Section 2 of
Resolution 2013 -36 shall read:
The Committee shall consist of seven (7) voting members appointed by
the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. Committee members shall
be selected at- large. All committee members must be current seventh (7 th )
through twelfth (12 grade students thirteen (13) to eighteen (18) years
old and must reside in Rosemead.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council adopt Resolution No. 2013 -34 amending
membership requirements for the City of Rosemead's Ad Hoc Youth Committee.
