As <br />the committee guidelines state, the appointee to this vacant position will assume the term that <br />Joani Werner was serving. She was serving a three year term that began in January, 2008. <br />Therefore, she has just over two years remaining on her term. <br /> <br />During the process in 2007, five individuals were interviewed for two openings. There are two <br />remaining applicants from that process: Mr. Charles Kachel and Mr. Harold Peterson. The City <br />informed these individuals that an opening exists and asked them if they would be interested in <br />being considered for the opening. After contacting these individuals, Mr. Harold Peterson <br />informed staff that he is still interested in serving on the Committee. Mr. Charles Kachel has, at <br />this point, declined to be considered. Staff met with Mr. Peterson to review the Committee <br />expectations and the commitment involved. Mr. Peterson has been through the interview process <br />and has reemphasized his interest in serving on the Committee. It is staff s recommendation that <br />he be appointed to the PTRC to replace Joani Werner. <br /> <br />This will leave three remaining vacancies on the Committee. However, there is also one current <br />member, Steve Zilmer whose schedule has caused him to miss the past three meetings. Staff <br />contacted him to discuss his status and he stated that he will need to resign due to his busy <br />schedule. Staff has requested an official resignation letter from him but has not received one as <br />of yet. This would open up a fourth committee vacancy. Staff will officially bring that <br />resignation forward once it has been received. The City recently advertised for the committee <br />openings in the local paper and posted it on the website. We currently have four applicants and <br />interviews have been set up for this week and next with a panel that includes the current PTRC <br />Chair - John Peck, Staff Liaison, and Council Liaison. <br />
