BACKGROUND <br />In June 1998, the Pleasanton City Council and the Pleasanton Unified School District <br />Board of Trustees approved the establishment of a Youth Master Plan for the City of <br />Pleasanton. The approved plan also included a recommendation to establish a Youth <br />Master Plan Implementation Group (now, the Youth Master Plan Implementation <br />Committee) consisting of various representatives from the faith, non-profit, parent and <br />youth community. The representatives hold yearly terms from July to June of the <br />following year. Vacant seats are filled annually through the standard board and <br />commission application process. <br />DISCUSSION <br />This report recommends the YMPIC appointments for the 2008-2009 year. In concert <br />with the City's call for board and commission members, the City advertised and <br />requested applications be submitted to fill the YMPIC vacancies. Several applications <br />were received and a volunteer YMPIC subcommittee served on the interview panel. <br />Applicants were interviewed on April 15 and the interview panel announced the <br />recommended appointments during the May 12 YMPIC meeting. Further, the City of <br />Pleasanton and Pleasanton Unified School District Liaison Committee approved the <br />recommended appointments during the May 15 meeting. <br />The following applicants are recommended to serve on the YMPIC: <br />Applicant Name YMPIC Seat Represented Position <br />Brock Roby Non-Profit Agency Community Member <br />Amie Sousa Health and Crisis Representative Community Member <br />Jill Maratsos Elementary Parent at Large Parent Representative <br />Debra Rodondi High School Parent at Large Parent Representative <br />In addition, a Youth Commission Liaison member and Youth Commission Liaison <br />member alternate will be appointed to the YMPIC in September, when the Youth <br />Commission reconvenes. This appointment occurs directly through the Youth <br />Commission whereby members self nominate to serve in the liaison role with the <br />YMPIC. <br />On June 30, two youth member vacancies will occur due to graduations. Their seats will <br />be filled by existing YMPIC Youth Member alternates. The High School Parent at Large <br />seat will also be vacated and will be filled by the recommended representative. noted in <br />this report. As in previous occasions, existing representatives who expressed an <br />interest in continuing in their role were allowed to continue. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
