City Council Meeting Minutes November 27 2o1S Page 11 of 12 Councilmember Maloney thinks Council should respect the process, there is one candidate for one position. If any person is not meeting the expectations when on the board he or she can be removed if it is appropriate. There is a good reason to have tumover on a board, and that is up to us to do if it is appropriate. If we aren't going to have term limits than we should put good effort into getting new people on boards. However we have those who applied and we should appoint those we want and interview those we want. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if those identified on the spreadsheet as "appointment with no interview" can still be discussed by the Council. Mayor Muckle stated any applicant can be discussed if Council would like to; tonight we only need to decide who to interview. Councilmember Stolzmann stated she would like to interview the LCC applicants so the process is consistent. Mayor Muckle asked if anyone wants to interview anyone other than those recommended. Councilmember Maloney agreed with Councilmember Stolzmann that the LCC members should be interviewed a§ there are more applicants than spots. Mayor Muckle noted Ms. Layton did not apply specifically for the LCC but has been a strong member of that board so the Committee recommended appointing her to the LCC again. Councilmember Stolzmann stated that concerns her as there are other applicants for the LCC for whom that was their primary choice. Councilmember Maloney stated he wants to be consistent in the process. He asked if Ms. Layton was interested on serving on the LCC Muth stated Ms. Layton had been contacted and she stated she would serve on the LCC or any other board the Council would like to put her on. Members discussed if more than just the LBoT applicants should be interviewed and if the LCC members should be interviewed. Councilmember Stolzmann reiterated she has concems about process and who is recommended for appointment. She suggested the six boards with only one applicant have no appointments made and be reopened. Mayor Muckle stated the Council can discuss any candidates it wants to. He is reluctant to totally reopen the application process for some boards. He recommended changing Mr Menaker to "appoint with no interview" and proceed with the rest of the recommendation as is, knowing the Council will discuss the candidates again before appointments are voted on. Councilmember Loo seconded that recommendation.
