Discussion
Pursuant to Cupertino Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 2.95, the Teen Commission is comprised of nine Commissioners appointed to two-year terms. (Attachment B). The regular terms of commissioners begin on September 1 and end 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. Chapter 2.95 provides for Council to make five (5) new appointments in odd-numbered years and four (4) new appointments in even-numbered years.
Currently, the Teen Commission has three terms expiring in this even-numbered year from the 2020-2022 term cycle and will have six terms expiring in 2023, the upcoming odd numbered year for the 2021-2023 term cycle.
On April 19, 2022, the City Council resolved to make four appointments for the 2022-2024 term cycle and five appointments in the 2023-2025 term cycle, and directed staff to draft a resolution based upon Council’s motion and bring it back to Council at the time of appointments (Attachment C). Therefore, staff recommends the Council adopt the draft resolution approving four appointments in the 2022-2024 term cycle, with five appointments to be made in 2023 for the 2023-2025 term cycle for the Cupertino Teen Commission (Attachment A).
