SCHEDULING APPLICANT INTERVIEWS FOR UNSCHEDULED VACANCY OF UNEXPIRED TERM ON PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES ADVISORY COMMISSION

Recommendation :

It is recommended that the City Council schedule a meeting prior to its regular meeting of Tuesday, January 25, 2000, for the purpose of interviewing applicants for the unscheduled vacancy on the Parks, Recreation and Community Resources Advisory Commission to fill an unexpired term ending June 30, 2001, with appointment to be made later that evening during the regular January 25 Council meeting.

Background :

At its meeting of November 23, 1999, the City Council directed the City Clerk to advertise the unexpired term with newspaper publication and normal posting procedures and invite applications from interested parties to fill the unscheduled Commission vacancy that had arisen.

A notice inviting applications for the unscheduled vacancy was published in the Easy Reader December 2 and 9, with a 6 p.m. January 6 deadline for submitting applications. The special vacancy notice was also posted in the City Clerk's office and the Library as required by State law, as well as in the outdoor display case at City Hall. Five applications have been submitted and are attached. The applicants are Geoffrey Hirsch, Daniel Marinelli, Stephen Sammarco, Bill Sigler and Michael York.

Since the interviews and appointment will not take place until the next meeting date of Janury 25, the City Council may wish to announce an extension of the application filing deadline to no later than 6 p.m. Wednesday, January 19 . That deadline is necessary in order to allow for the preparation of the required staff report and the inclusion of all applications in the January 25 Council agenda packets, which will go out on Thursday, January 20.
