Background and Analysis:
The City Council General Government Committee (General Government) has requested that City Advisory Committees and Commissions help in identifying candidates to interview for vacant Committee and Commission positions. General Government has asked that members screen all applicants, and identify three candidates to be interviewed for every one vacant position.
This agenda item is to discuss the nine candidates who submitted an application for the one vacant position this year. Commissioners will complete in advance and bring for discussion Attachment A, a form provided by General Government to evaluate the potential candidates.
The Commission will forward a recommendation to General Government, who will then hold candidate interviews and notify the selected candidate by the end of March. The new Commissioner will begin their term in April.
