CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 8, 2022
TO: City Council/City Manager
FROM: Christina Franco, City Clerk
By: Christina Franco, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Teen Council Chair/Parks & Community Services Commission Student Commissioner Appointment
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council review the applications, conduct the interviews, and appoint the Chairperson of the Teen Council for 2022/23. The applicant selected will become the Chair of the Teen Council for 2022/23 and the Parks & Community Services Commission Student Commissioner for a one year term ending in June 2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Parks & Community Services Commission consists of seven regular members and one Student Commissioner who also serves as the Chair of the San Ramon Teen Council.
The Teen Council amended their by-laws on March 12, 2019 changing the term of the Vice Chair to a two-year appointment that automatically rolls into the Chair position in the second year.
In August 2021, the Council selected a Vice Chair, Anya Ayyappan, who was appointed to serve as both the Chair of the Teen Council and Student Commissioner for a term ending in June 2023.
In July 2022, Anya Ayyappan resigned from her appointment with the Teen Council after only serving one year of her two year term. This resulted in a vacancy for the Chair position for the 2022/23 term.
Four applications were received from the incumbents of the Teen Council members; Tanishka Chawla, Arpita Gupta, Saachi Sharma, and Sadhana Tadepalli.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
None.
STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will notify the appointed Chairperson of the upcoming meetings, dates, times and location.
