REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: July 8, 2013 <br /> Item No.: 7.e <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Appoint Youth to Human Rights Commission <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />B ACKGROUND 1 <br />At their June 19, 2013 meeting, the Human Rights Commission (HRC) unanimously approved a 2 <br />motion to recommend that the City Council appoint Sungmoon Lim to be a youth commissioner 3 <br />on the HRC for a term that begins August 1, 2013. 4 <br />Two current youth commissioners’ terms are completed this summer. The Council previously 5 <br />appointed Joan Dao and Sarah Thomas to one year terms. The HRC wants to continue having 6 <br />three youth representatives. 7 <br />Youth commissioners have taken an increasingly active role on the HRC, and it is in the 8 <br />commission’s best interest to appoint someone before the school year begins. 9 <br />Several members of the HRC interviewed three candidates for the position, and although all 10 <br />three students were of the highest caliber, they ultimately recommended appointing Sungmoon 11 <br />Lim. 12 <br />F INANCIAL I MPACTS 13 <br />None 14 <br />S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION 15 <br />Appoint Sungmoon Lim to serve as HRC Youth Commissioner for a term from August 1, 2013 16 <br />to July 31, 2014. 17 <br />R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION 18 <br />Appoint Sungmoon Lim to serve as HRC Youth Commissioner for a term from August 1, 2013 19 <br />to July 31, 2014. 20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />Prepared by: Carolyn Curti, Communications Specialist <br />Attachments: A: Sungmoon Lim’s application <br />y g pp
