City Council Regular Meeting - 03/14/05 Minutes - Page 21 appeared to reach Council consensus for use. John Kysylyczyn, 3083 N Victoria Street Mr. Kysylyczyn opined that applications seldom showed the applicant's depth of knowledge; and noted Mayor Klausing's election campaign had supported interviewing everyone taking time to fill out an application; and the Council should remain consistent unless the applicant had prior knowledge of the application standing in place of an interview to present their qualifications and expertise. Terry Moses, 1776 Maple Lane Mr. Moses suggested the written applications be done with the names not showing. Mr. Moses further opined that applicants had submitted their application, anticipating an interview, and that the Council shouldn't change the rules midstream without their prior knowledge. Mayor Klausing explained that the Council had already been made aware of the identity of applicants; and opined that, as a practical matter, given the number of applicants, it became improbable for a part-time Council to interview the entire slate of applicants. Discussion ensued related to the ranking system. Klausing moved, Schroeder seconded, to have individual City Councilmembers rank applicants; and submit their rankings to staffby 12:00 Noon on Thursday, March 17,2005 for applicants for the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Planning Commission, and the Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission, respectively; further directing staff to compile the rankings into a matrix for further Council consideration. Further discussion ensued related to timing issues for staff and submission to the City Council to provide sufficient time for the City Council to make their decisions related to interviewing and scheduling of those interviews.
