3. Evaluation Process a. Evaluation panel The evaluation panel for City boards and commissions is the City Council. The evaluation panel will be used only when the number of applicants for a vacancy exceeds five. If there are more than five applicants for a vacancy, the City Council will evaluate the applications and select five applicants to be interviewed by the full City Council. b. Reviewing applications After the application deadline has passed, the Human Resources Representative will forward all applications to evaluation panel members for scoring. The Human Representative will total the scores and invite the top five scorers to interview. c. Interviewing applicants 1) Invitation to interview The Human Resources Representative will arrange interview times and notify applicants and members of the evaluation panel of the arrangements. 2) Interview process Interview questions will be determined before the interview based on qualifications identified as necessary, as well as to accurately identify each applicant's knowledge, skills, and abilities, and the benefits that the applicant, if appointed, may bring to the board or commission in the future. A short open house will be held prior to interviews. Applicants will interview for City boards and commissions individually. All applicants will be asked the same questions. Depending on responses, some follow up questions will differ from candidate to candidate for purposes of clarification. Members of the evaluation panel will evaluate applicants by comparing responses to interview questions, information contained in the letter of interest/application, and potential contribution to the existing diversity of expertise, experience and geographic representation on the applicable board or commission. Interviews will not be televised but will be held in an open meeting. 2
