Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 23, 2015 Page 16 limited to one or two to avoid getting out of control as it had this year with the number of candidates and their many expressed options. Councilmember Willmus also requested staff provide, as part of the interview process, handmade placards with names of candidates for assistance when review- ing interview videos as well as for the benefit of the viewing audience.

Mayor Roe suggested working from that list of eight questions for tonight's dis- cussion to remain focused on the process. Initial discussion among staff and Councilmembers included clarification of staff's recommendation for a brownfields consultant, identification of subareas based on the recent Twin Lakes planning survey that that appeared to support ac- ceptance of industrial type uses (Subareas 4 and/or 5); and other uses that might
