Teresa called roll call. Councilmember Peel Absent
Councilmember Gutowsky motioned to approve the minutes from January 21, 2022. Mayor Arndt
seconded the motion.
Teresa shared the list of panelist recommendations provided by Councilmembers. Mayor Arndt
suggested they use everyone’s top two choices. If someone is not available, Teresa will move down the
list to invite the third option.
Teresa stated that when someone serves on a Board or Commission and is invited to participate in panel
interviews, she needs to clarify that they are not representing the Board or Commission.
Teresa shared the reception invite list provided by Councilmembers. Mayor Arndt stated that some
people recommended couples and suggested that the single guests be invited first. Teresa said that she
too had been asked if Council could bring their spouses. Mayor Arndt agreed that this would be fine.
Teresa asked Carrie to share whether the reception would be open. Carrie stated if the reception is
purely social, they would not need to open it to the public. Carrie will follow up with staff to ensure
these details are worked out.
Teresa shared that four coffee houses are willing to allow Council to use their space, which means the
candidates would need to rotate. She stated that another option is to use a City facility such as City Hall.
The decision was made to host the coffee times at City Hall.
Mayor Arndt stated that she would like to use a local establishment for catering coffee and lunch
instead of a chain.
Teresa stated after coffee Council would convene to a Special Session to hear first-year plans.
Teresa offered to meet with the panelists to get their feedback but was unsure of how involved Council
wanted to be. She stated that she would meet with the panelists to co-create questions. The Committee
agreed.
Meeting adjourned at 4:20 pm.
