<br />involved. He stated that they have found it frustrating for people to find a way to apply and <br />navigate the website. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey asked about the process for people to apply for positions on committees. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that the application is on the website under the <br />employment section or they can call City Hall and it can be mailed to them. <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone stated that they wanted to have a way to hand out applications at their <br />events. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that he thinks it is a good idea to get as many people involved as <br />you can. He suggested that maybe the advertising is run twice, instead of just once. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey stated that he agrees that people should be out talking to people and <br />encouraging them to get involved. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich asked if the Council wants to change page 25, item 5. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey stated that he thinks that is appropriate. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson noted that this re-application is different from a new <br />application and.asked if they should be the same. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey stated that he thinks the same application should be used and suggested <br />consulting with Hl,Ullan Resources Manager Kone. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated that the application could have a place to put in if they have served <br />on commissions at this City or others. <br /> <br />There was a Consensus to do away with the incumbency process. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey stated that if the policy is redone, he thinks something should be done with the <br />terms so they do not expire in December, but perhaps in the spring sometime. He suggested that <br />the current terms be extended until April and then implement a new policy. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich stated that he is uncomfortable extending the terms because of ordinance <br />language. He stated that he would be more comfortable if, for example, the Planning <br />Commission had five members rather than six members until this is changed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey stated that when the EPB became a policy board, he thinks the process of <br />staggering the terms has already happened. He stated that Human Resources Manager Kone <br />made a grid that looked at the issue and clearly outlined this how to stagger terms. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that he is not opposed to staggering terms and agreed that he <br />thinks the City already has this in place. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session /January 6, 2009 <br />Page 6 of 16 <br />
