o Several options for conducting the interview process
include:
The full Council interviews each candidate,
An ad hoc committee interviews each candidate and
provides a summary report to the Council,
Individual Council members meet individually with each
candidate, or
No interviews
Interviews
Mm
❑ When there are a small number of candidates for a
vacancy, the interview process is less time-
consuming, so more thorough interviews of each
candidate by the full Council are more feasible.
As the numbers of the candidates increase, the
feasibility
of
the
full Council
conducting thorough
interviews
of
all
candidates
decreases.
Appointment
W MW
The appointment process that follows the
interviews can be done in a number of ways,
including, but not limited to:
Verbal nomination, second, and appoint by
verbal vote of a majority of the Council.
Verbal nomination, second, and appoint by
electronic roll call vote.
Appointment
W V V 7
Vote on each candidate consecutively (either
verbal or roll call) until a candidate receives a
majority vote, then halt voting.
All Council members concurrently fill out ballots
that identify the candidate(s) each would
appoint, and then the ballots are read by the
City Clerk (with the voting Council member
identified for each ballot).
Revised Staff Recommendation
7 Direct staff to return with a written policy
that would establish the following process:
When there are two or fewer candidates for each
vacancy on a commission, the full Council will
interview all candidates for that commission.
Revised Staff Recommendation
ME
❑ When there are three or more candidates for any
vacancy on a commission, the Mayor may, in his/her
discretion, appoint an ad hoc committee of two Council
members to interview all the candidates for that
commission.
The Committee will submit a written summary of the
interviews back to the full Council for consideration,
with the application materials for all candidates.
The Committee will recommend one (or more, at the
Committee's discretion) candidate for each vacancy on
that commission.
