Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 20, 2013 Page 35 Councilmember McGehee suggested submission before June 3rd of a written list of criteria for dissemination to everyone. Mayor Roe suggested that information may not be available by then, and that an- other Special meeting may be required. Councilmember Willmus spoke in support of a Special meeting, opining it would be beneficial. Mayor Roe suggested that, before June 3rd, staff poll City Councilmembers for optional dates, even a Saturday morning if necessary, to determine workable dates. Ms. Bacon advised that she would be out of town the weekend after Memorial Day,but would be available otherwise. Ms. Bacon requested whether the intent was for a uniform document with every- one supplying the same types of information (e.g. education level) or a more free form. Mayor Roe expressed preference for free form, and suggested one of the exercises at the Special meeting would be to consolidate those elements and reach consen- sus. Councilmember Willmus suggested that it may be interesting to have a standard- ized portion for education and experience, followed by a free form portion. The 2006 questionnaire was used as an example, with the top ten and then free form. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, it was determined that the City Coun- cil had yet to decide on a national, regional or local search; with Councilmember Laliberte opining that a determination would be helpful o define search parame- ters. Councilmember Willmus, in retaining his 90-day window, advised that he was as- suming a local/regional search at the most. Ms. Bacon noted that the City used neo.gov for all application processes, and that it was a national program with anyone wishing to apply able to access that pro- gram. Ms. Bacon suggested that additional criteria (e.g. living within the five state region or experience with the State of MN government),but as far as posting the position it would be posted on applicant tracking.
