The meeting began at 3:01 p.m.
Councilmember Gutowsky made a motion to approve the minutes. Councilmember Peel seconded the
motion.
Teresa provided an update on the Panel interviews.
Councilmember Gutowsky asked for a refresh on the schedule, which Teresa provided.
The Committee discussed whether Council would be allowed to observe the panels and/or forums.
Councilmembers can observe either forum but are asked not to log in for the panel interviews.
Councilmember Gutowsky expressed concern about not observing the panel interviews and asked if
Council would receive a summary, which she would find very helpful. Teresa and Kyle will have debriefs
with the panelists and provide Council information on March 26 regarding the feedback. They will also
prepare a document with any follow-up questions submitted by panelists or forum participants.
The Committee felt strongly about having a backup date for Council to decide who the finalist will be if
they are not ready to decide on Saturday, March 26, 2022. A Special Council Meeting also needs to be
scheduled for the afternoon of March 26, in the event Council is ready to make a resolution to name the
finalist.
Mayor Arndt expressed interest in serving on a team to negotiate the contract with whichever
Councilmember wants to participate. Teresa needs to bring forward a resolution to make clear who will
be in the lead to make the offer and negotiate the contract. Carrie Daggett is not able to be part of the
contract negotiations, but an outside attorney will work with Teresa on the employment agreement.
The meeting adjourned at 3:48 p.m.
