PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to make recommendations to the City Council for the approval and appointment of this year�s Youth Board candidates.
BACKGROUND:
As currently structured, the Youth Board is comprised of seventeen members. A representative is designated for each high school and middle school within Burbank. The school representatives include both the public and parochial schools in the city. The remaining six positions are designated as at-large members. All appointments are for two-year terms, with the school representatives and the at-large positions alternating expiration dates.
ANALYSIS:
At this time, the six at-large positions are due for appointment. In addition, due to resignations or graduation of certain members, there are six (6) school representative vacancies, which require mid-term appointment.
For the vacant high school and middle school positions, each school was contacted and requested to provide the name of their respective representative. Each school has responded and staff has received applications for the vacancies, which are attached for City Council review. (Attachment I)
For the at-large positions, there were nine (9) applications received for the six vacancies. Applications are attached for City Council review. (Attachment II) Six applicants need to be appointed for the six at-large positions.
In past years, when the number of at-large applications has exceeded the number of vacancies, there has been occasion when City Council has appointed additional at-large members.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action.
