COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilors Keany, Loo and Yarnell favored having all the candidates complete a questionnaire. MOTION: Mayor Muckle moved to continue the appointment to fill the Ward I vacancy to January 3, 2012 and a questionnaire be distributed to all the applicants, seconded by Councilor Sackett. • PUBLIC COMMENT Holly Gardner, 112 Vista Lane, Louisville, CO felt the merits of all the applicants should be considered when filling the vacancy. She voiced her concern over generating an effective questionnaire in such a short period of time. City Attorney Light asked for clarification whether the City Council intends to delegate authority to the Mayor to prepare the questionnaire and send it to the applicants, or whether City Council intends to review and approve the questionnaire. He explained it is a questionnaire of the City Council, so the Council would have to delegate their authority or the questionnaire would have to be reviewed and approved by the City Council as an action item at a meeting. Mayor Muckle amended his motion to request Council members send their questions to the Mayor to be compiled and reviewed by the entire City Council, which will be distributed via a questionnaire to all the applicants. Councilor Sackett accepted the amendment. Councilor Keany suggested the questionnaire be prepared for the December 20, 2011 City Council Agenda and Council seek citizen input at the meeting. Councilor Yarnell supported a questionnaire, but asked to whom the citizens would • direct their proposed questions. Councilor Keany suggested the citizen input should come directly to the City Council/Staff email addresses.
