Re: 11/09/2021 Work Session Summary Boards & Commissions
The purpose of this work session item was to gather recommendations for the interview and
appointment processes for Boards and Commissions. All Councilmembers were present for the
discussion except for Councilmember Pignataro. The 2021 annual recruitment cycle will serve as a PILOT
for the recommended processes with a follow-up work session discussion to be held at the end of the
recruitment process for purposes of evaluating what worked and did not work. The questions posed for
discussion were as follows:
Who will participate in interviews and how will that be determined?
Council Liaison and randomly selected Councilmember (preferred alphabetical method of
randomizing when appropriate and schedules allow).
Will all candidates be interviewed?
A limit of 10 candidates to be interviewed will be set, with the Council Liaison identified as the
person responsible for vetting applications.
Will back-up selections be identified?
If applicable, back-up selections will be noted, but are not required.
How long are back-up selections kept and will they be maintained when one or more of the interview
team has left Council?
Back-ups will only remain as back-ups until the time of annual recruitment at which time they
will need to reapply.
Should there be a different interview process for Quasi-judicial Commissions?
Yes. The process will only be different in that the Mayor, Council Liaison, and a randomly
selected Councilmember will do the interviews. This will be considered a public meeting and
need to be noticed as that.
What actions will prompt a separate recruitment after the Annual Recruitment/Appointment process
has taken place in the final quarter of each year?
If a board does not meet quorum requirements a separate recruitment will be initiated outside
the annual recruitment period.
