� � f� � � � 8 � 1 �� 1� � Regular City Council Meeting DRAFT Monday, Mareh 12,2007 Page 16 Mayor Klausing noted the benefits of receiving preliminary agendas from City Manager Maliner� and receiving items earlier to allow the City Council to question and address issues with staff before meetings. Mayor Klausing noted the other meetings and extracurricular items requiring Council atten- tion during the month, outside of regular Council meetings and Study Ses- sions. Councilmember Roe opined that the concept of reviewing items twice before taking action could still be accomplished without the addition of an extra meeting. 1� Mayor Klausing opined that the issue had come up too fast, and had not been �:� given sufficient consideration of ramifications prior to consensus adoption. 14 Mayor Klausing concurred with Councilmember Roe's observations, in the l� context of current meetings. l� 1� �� l� �� �1 �2 11.� Future Council Meeting Items a.

Mayor HIausing �3 Mayor Klausing requested that each Councilmember choose their two ��I preferred candidates for each of the Commission vacancies to be �� voted on at the March 26, 2007 regular Council meeting; and provide �� them to City Manager 1Vla�in�n, at which time staff would provide a �� ranking — not numerical rankin� - to determine consensus prior to ad- �� ditional voting. Mayor Klausing suggested that Councilmembers �� could include input of Commission Chairs or not at their discretion. �� � 1 Councilmember Ihlan opined that the process, as followed from the �� Planning Commission appointments, had not served to be transparent �:� enough for applicants and interested residents to determine which ;�� Councilmembers were putting forth which candidates. �� �� 3� �� �� City Manager Malinen was directed to add further discussion of the Commission candidate selection process and for further discussion on the March 19,2007 Study Session agenda.
