Discussion
The Teen Commission is comprised of nine members and has three vacancies this year.
The Council appoints members to two-year terms beginning on September 1 and ending on August 31 of the year their term is due to expire. Membership on the Commission is limited to Cupertino residents. Commissioners must be in the 8th through 11th grade at time of appointment. Members of the Teen Commission shall be appointed according to the current commission recruitment process adopted by City Council (Attachment A).
If Council wishes to establish the application deadline and interview dates, then staff will begin outreach for the recruitment. The Parks and Recreation Department will distribute vacancy notices to the school districts and advertise in the summer Recreation Schedule.
The City Clerk’s Office will advertise the vacancies on the City website and through social media, as well as in the Cupertino Courier, World Journal, and Cupertino Scene . Staff recommends that interviews be scheduled in May to interview applicants before their summer activities begin.
