Background and Analysis:
The City Council would like city advisory committees to help identify candidates to interview for vacant positions. The General Government Committee has asked that committee members screen applications and forward a recommendation on those to be interviewed.
Three applications were received during the recruitment period that ended on February 25. Since there are three vacancies to be filled, Commissioners are being requested to:
• Review the three applications (Attachment A);
• Rank the applications based on the evaluation matrix developed by the General Government Committee (Attachment B); and
• Develop a recommendation to the General Government Committee. Interviews are tentatively scheduled for April 27, with City Council approval on May 11.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
