VACANCIES - BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS

EXPIRATION OF TERMS

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the Council take action with regard to the upcoming term expirations. The options are: 

1) appoint/reappoint this evening for four-year terms; 
2) schedule applicant interviews prior to the July 11, 2000 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, 2000 - two applicants. Appointments will be for four-year terms ending July 15, 2004. Both incumbents have applied for reappointment, no other applications.

Applicants: 

• Michael D'Amico
• L. Dwight Taggart

Recommendation : Reappoint this evening, without interviews, since only the two incumbents have applied for the two seats.

 

PLANNING COMMISSION - three terms expiring June 30, 2000 - nine applicants. Appointments will be for four-year terms ending June 30, 2004. All three incumbents have applied for reappointment and six additional applications were received.

Applicants: 

• Charlie C. Cheatham 
• Steven Sammarco 
• Michael D. Keegan 
• Carol Schwartz
• Langley Kersenboom Joel Shapiro
• Chris Ketz Peter C. Tucker
• Ronald Pizer

Recommendation : 

1) Schedule a meeting for applicant interviews at 6 or 6:15 p.m. prior to the July 11, 2000 meeting, with appointments to be made at the regular meeting; and

2) Extend the application filing period in the interim, with a filing deadline of 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 5, 2000.

 

Background:

At its meeting of May 23, 2000, 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 June 1 and 8 and was posted at City Hall, with a filing deadline of 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 20, 2000. All incumbents were notified by mail of the need to file an application by the deadline date in order to be considered for reappointment.

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 Michael D'Amico and L. Dwight Taggart this evening to the two four-year terms expiring July 15, 2004.

There are nine Planning Commission applicants for the three seats, including the three incumbents. It is therefore recommended that interviews be scheduled to take place at 6 or 6:15 p.m. prior to the regular meeting of July 11 so that appointments may be made at the July 11 regular meeting. If the application filing period is extended in the interim, the recommended deadline of July 5 is necessary in order to allow for the preparation of the required staff report and the inclusion of all applications in the July 11 Council agenda packets, which will go out on Thursday, July 6. As noted above, although the terms expire June 30 and July 15, the current members would continue to serve until the Council makes the appointments for the new four-year terms.
