Department Approval � l�eyu�si for Council Action Manager Approval �� +� � Date: June 12,2006 Item Number: 10. Agenda Section Item Description: Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Appointment Back rg ound: —The Public �orlcs, Environment and Transportation (PWET) Commission advises the City Council, City Manager and Director of Public Works on public works, environmental and transportation matters. Commissioners are appointed to 3 year terms and are eligible to serve up to 2 consecutive full terms. When a person resigns in mid- term the City Council appoints someone to fill out the term. Due to a resignation, PWET has one vacancy for a term that expires March 31,2008. In April Council directed staff to advertise for applications with applications due to the City by June 2. The City received three applications. The Council next meets on June 20. The PWET Commission next meets on June 27. Council Action Reauest�d: Direct staff on how to handle the appointment. Because Doug Root and John Kysylyc�yn have recently interviewed for Commission ap- pointments and James Debenedet served on the Rosev�lle Planning Commission in the late 1980s and early 90s, Councilmembers may already be familiar with the candidates. Thus, options include: 1. Appoint a Commissioner at today's meetings based on applications (attached) and Council's existing familiarity with the applicants. 2. Direct staff to schedule 10 minute interviews with all candidates beginning at 5:20 p.m. on June 20 and then appoint the Commissioner on June 20. 3. Direct staff to schedule an interview at 5:45 p.m. on June 20 with Mr. Debenedet, since he has not interviewed recently or frequently, and then appoint the Commissioner on June 20.
