PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION APPLICATIONS

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council select one of the following two options:

1) Schedule applicant interviews for a time certain (6 p.m. or earlier) prior to the September 12, 2000 meeting, with appointments to follow at the regular meeting, and extend the application filing period in the interim, with a filing deadline of 6 p.m. Wednesday, September 6, 2000; or

2) Schedule applicant interviews and appointments for an earlier date in August and extend the application filing period to a date certain, about one week before the scheduled meeting.

 

Background:

At its meeting of June 27, 2000, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 00-1203 to establish a Public Works Commission to review and make recommendations to the Council on all capital improvement projects, assist in the development and updating of design guidelines for City public improvements, and other matters referred to the Commission by the City Council. That ordinance was adopted by the Council July 11 and will become effective after 30 days of its adoption (August 10). The Commission shall consist of five members, all qualified electors of the City, serving staggered four-year terms. Sixteen applications (see attached) were received prior to the filing deadline of 6 p.m. August 2. At the time of this writing, voter registration has been verified for all but two of the applicants. Since the Commission members must be qualified electors of the City, that verification process will be completed prior to the interviews. The 16 applicants are:

Mordy A. Benjamin Lee J. Leslie Phil A. Pennington

Charlie C. Cheatham Michael J. Lohnes Tom Ryan

David Cohn Jean Lombardo Hal Solomon

Lee H. Grant Matt Miller Rick Statham

Michael D. Keegan James B. Paterson Victor C. Winnek
