Introduction
At the January 16, 2007 Council meeting, the Council decided to continue advertising for all commissions
for a month and then consider filling the open seats in April due to a shortage of applicants available to
fill the vacancies.
Discussion
Staff has been advertising heavily in different sections of the Star News paper and has also advertised on
the website and newsletter over the past few months.
At the January 16, 2007 Council meeting, the Council decided to change the interview process by having
applicants interview at Council worksession meetings in order to make the environment less formal and
more comfortable.
The April 9 worksession agenda has become lengthy whereas the April 2 agenda is a little lighter. Staff is
requesting to adjourn to worksession on April 2 in order to interview applicants in the Upper Town
Conference Room.
