Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 24, 2008 Page 8 13. Business Items -Action a. Appointment of Advisory Commissioners Councilmembers briefly reviewed their individual ranking for appointment of candidates to advisory commission vacancies, and their rationale for those rank- ings. It was Council consensus that it was a strong pool, with all candidates quali- fied, making the ranking more difficult.. Individual Councilmembers reviewed their criteria for their rankings, including experience, expertise for the various commissions, and perspectives gleaned during their personal. interviews with the City Council. Planning Commission Klausing moved, Roe seconded, appointment of Andre Best to the Planning Commission, for a term expiring March 31, 2011. Mayor Klausing encouraged other candidates to make application for the next va- cancy; and to stay involved in the community. Mayor Klausing advised that in his rankings, he took into consideration the whole commission currently serving, and who would best fit into that group, based on their expertise. Councilmember Roe concurred with Mayor Klausing, noting that it took him and others currently serving as Councilmembers, several opportunities applying to the Planning Commission prior to their appointment.
