exception of the Planning Commission and the Historic Site Board, which the City
Council has interviewed candidates as a whole at an open and public meeting.
The ad hoc City Council Subcommittees interview and screen applicants, and make
recommendations to the entire City Council; and members of Commission and Boards
are appointed by three affirmative votes of the City Council.
In 2011 the City Council Subcommittees were as follows:
Administrative Appeals Board Pougnet and Weigel
Airport Commission Mills and Weigel
Human Rights Commission Mills and Weigel
Library Board of Trustees Pougnet and Weigel
Parks and Recreation Commission Foat and Weigel
Personnel Board Pougnet and Hutcheson
Public Arts Commission Foat and Hutcheson
Rent Review Commission Foat and Mills
Sustainability Commission Hutcheson and Mills
VillageFest Board Foat and Hutcheson
Historic Site Preservation Board City Council as a whole at open meeting
Planning Commission City Council as a whole at open meeting
City staff established the deadline to file as April 2 2012; as staff would be able to
provide the number of applicants per Commission/Board to assist in determining the
amount of time required to interview. However, since the City Council may not meet on
April 4, 2012, staff recommends that the City Council appoint Subcommittees at this
time, to ensure sufficient time for interviews and appointments prior to the expiration of
the current terms.
