PROCESS FOR INTERVIEWING PLANNING/H C
COMMISSION APPLICANTS
We met as the Subcommittee December 3 and 10, 1997 and developed a suggested process for
interviewing the applicants. There were 29 applications received including the 3 incumbent's letters
asking to be reconsidered for appointment to the Commission. Copies of all applications are
attached for the City Council's review.
We are recommending that all 29 applicants be interviewed by the entire City Council with the
exception of possibly the 3 incumbents. As you are aware, the Mayor generated a memo suggesting
that the 3 incumbents shotfid not have to appear with the other applicants for an interview with the
City Council. In the spirit of cooperation with the City Council, our suggestion is to advise the 3
incumbents if they wish to interview before the entire City Council, they are free to do so but not
required. The interviews are scheduled for Tuesday, December 16, 1997 beginning at 5 p.m. in the
Tri-Communities Conference Room.
The process we are suggesting would be to utilize the same 3 previous questions of each applicant
and limit the interview of each applicant to 10 minutes (or as close to that as possible). Following
the interviews, a vote of the entire City Council will occur. We are suggesting that the Mayor begin
by making a motion to nominate all 29 applicants. Following that, we are suggesting that each
Council Member vote for only 3 applicants in the first round of voting when considering all 29
applications and that an applicant must receive 3 votes to be appointed to the Commission.
Applicants with at least 1 vote will be included in the following round if needed. If there are no
other applicants who have received 3 votes in that round, then the succeeding rounds of voting will
only inlcude those applicants with a minimum of 2 votes. Staff will have an easel set up with each
applicants name and the name of each Council Member so that the votes can be recorded publicly.
We recognize the Planning/HPC Commission is an important function of the City and with this
process wanted to ensure an organized process for selecting Commissioners. Your input is
welcomed and if you have any questions, please call us.
