Background and Analysis:
The City Council would like advisory committees to help identify candidates to interview for vacant position. The General Government Committee has asked that committee members screen applications and forward a recommendation on those to be interviewed.
Three applications were initially received and considered by the Planning Commission on March 15. They recommended to the General Government Committee that additional recruitment be done to increase the applicant pool. A second recruitment period was opened up during which 11 applications were submitted. Including the original applications, there are now a total of 14 for the Planning Commission’s consideration.
Commissioners are being asked to review and evaluate these applications using the attached Evaluation Matrix, and identify candidates for consideration by the General Government Committee. Interviews are scheduled for April 27.
