VACANCIES - BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS EXPIRATION OF TERMS
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Council take action with regard to the upcoming term expirations to: 1) appoint/reappoint this evening for four-year terms; 2) schedule applicant interviews prior to the July 13 meeting, with appointments to follow at the regular meeting; and/or 3) direct the City Clerk to re-advertise for additional applicants, with interviews to be scheduled at a later date:
Civil Service Board - two terms expiring July 15, two applicants. Appointments will be for four-year terms ending July 15, 2003. Both incumbents have applied for reappointment, no other applications. Recommend reappointment this evening, without interviews, since only the two incumbents have applied for the two seats.
Applicants: Ruth Brand Barry Warner
Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission - two terms expiring June 30, two applicants. Appointments will be for four-year terms ending June 30, 2003. One of the incumbents has applied for reappointment; one additional application was received. Recommend that Council select one of the options listed above.
Applicants: Robert Bell Stephen Francis
Planning Commission - two terms expiring June 30, five applicants. Appointments will be for four-year terms ending June 30, 2003. Both incumbents have applied for reappointment, two applications are from last fall (still current since less than one year old), and one additional application was received. Recommend scheduling applicant interviews prior to the July 13 regular meeting, with appointments to be made later that evening. If the application filing period is extended in the interim, recommend a deadline of 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 7.
Applicants: Charlie C. Cheatham Robert M. Harvey, Jr. Peter R. Hoffman Sam Perrotti Peter C. Tucker
Background:
At its meeting of May 11, 1999, the City Council directed the City Clerk to advertise and request applications from interested parties for the above board/commission terms. A notice advertising the expiring terms and inviting applications was published in the Easy Reader May 20 and 27, was sent to Century Communications for airing May 17 through June 14, and was posted at City Hall, with a filing deadline of 6 p.m. Monday, June 14.
Civil Service Board applications were received from only the two incumbents. Since there are only two applicants (the incumbents) for the two seats, there seems no need for interviews, and it is recommended that the Council reappoint Ruth Brand and Barry Warner this evening to the two four-year terms expiring July 15, 2003.
Two applications were received for the two Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Commission seats -- one from incumbent Stephen Francis. Since there are only two applications for two seats, the Council may opt to appoint/reappoint this evening. If the Council directs re-advertising for additional applicants, notice could be published once in the Easy Reader and aired again on Cable TV with a filing deadline of 6 p.m. July 7 for a report back to the Council at its July 13 meeting. Although both terms expire June 30, the current members would continue to serve until the Council makes the appointments for the new four-year terms.
There are five Planning Commission applicants for the two seats, including the two incumbents. It is therefore recommended that interviews be scheduled to take place (at a time certain) prior to the regular meeting of July 13 so that appointments may be made at the July 13 regular meeting. If the application filing period is extended in the interim, the recommended deadline of July 7 is necessary in order to allow for the preparation of the required staff report and the inclusion of all applications in the July 13 Council agenda packets, which will go out on Thursday, July 8. As noted above, although both terms expire June 30, the current members would continue to serve until the Council makes the appointments for the new four-year terms.
