CITY MANAGER'S STAFF REPORT - FIRE & CITY I The following items have no legal publication or posting requirements. N1. Review of process for considering applications to the Planning/Historic Preservation Commission. Candyce Burnett, Planning Manager, presented the staff report. Council Member Steinorth appreciated the historical information that was gathered in the staff report and noted that this selection has been done many different ways in the past. He suggested that the City Council advertise for the three vacant seats, receive applications and then interview all of the candidates. Persons yet to be interviewed would be asked to stay outside of the room, the Mayor would recommend the candidates for consideration and then a vote would be taken of the entire City Council using a tally system. In response to Council Member Alexander, the City Attorney confirmed that State law and the Municipal Code authorize the Mayor to determine which candidates should be considered by the entire City Council. Council Member Steinorth noted that there was an occasion whereby Mayor Alexander had presented all of the candidates to the City Council. In response to Mayor Michael, Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo indicated that another option would be to convene a subcommittee to narrow down the field of candidates. This has also been done in the past. Discussion was held on the possible number of candidates and the use of a subcommittee. Mayor Michael suggested that a brief interviews be done with all of the candidates to determine the top candidates. A second meeting could be scheduled to provide time for an in-depth discussion with the top candidates. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo, Mr. Markman indicated that the current Commission Members would serve until their successor(s) if any, are appointed. In response to Mrs. Burnett, the City Council requested that the current Planning Commission Members also provide an application for consideration.
