Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 5,2023 <br /> Page 9 <br /> Ms. Olson indicated the City did not. <br /> Mayor Roe did not know that people have been telling the City this is an issue but, <br /> at the same time,it is a blank that people could choose to fill in or not. He indicated <br /> he was not concerned about adding it in necessarily. <br /> Councilmember Strahan indicated she would be comfortable if it was optional <br /> where people could fill it in if they wanted or not. <br /> Mayor Roe referenced the section in the staff report regarding the interview and <br /> specifically timeframes, the length of the interview and the intervals in between. <br /> He was not sure if there needed to be a five-minute interval in between each <br /> interview, which might add up to a lot of time, but maybe schedule some catch up <br /> time after so many interviews for a break. <br /> The Commission concurred. <br /> Councilmember Strahan thought maybe do three interviews then have a break. <br /> Mayor Roe asked for Council's thoughts on the timeline for the interview process. <br /> He noted there is the mid-term process with new applicants only, not <br /> reappointments. <br /> Ms. Olson reviewed the mid-term and annual vacancy timelines with the City <br /> Council. She indicated staff is suggesting at the December meeting to have Council <br /> receive the reappointment applications for those Commissioners seeking <br /> reappointment and make a determination at that meeting. If the Council chooses to <br /> interview them, then in January the City would declare any vacancies. If the <br /> Council chooses not to reappoint, there is the option to appoint those <br /> Commissioners seeking reappointment at the December meeting. Or, the Council <br /> can wait and make that determination for staff. The January the application period <br /> would be opened and in February the interviews would be over a two-day period, <br /> tentatively. In March, the Commissioners would be appointed. <br /> Councilmember Strahan indicated she would be comfortable with the timeline <br /> proposed. <br /> Mayor Roe thought January might be a better time for reviewing reappointments in <br /> case there is Council change overs and the new Councilmember might want to re- <br /> interview candidates for reappointment. <br /> Consensus of the City Council was to keep the December meeting in the timeline. <br />
