2. What Ii, vel of staff involvement or input do you expect in the appointment process? P&R: 1. Policies and procedures. 2. Help formulate questions to ensure they are fair, legal, consistent. 3. Uncomfortable with idea of only set questions - want freedom to ask followup questions based on responses. 4. Depending on the issues at the time interviews are conducted, may want to ask different questions. Would require staff meeting with commission to revise questions each time. 5. One person felt that set questions eliminate the individuality of individual commissioners. Can we address that by having each person's key question on the list? 6. Set list o£questions. Be present to control propriety of process, pertaining to fairness, harassment guestions, level playing field. 7. Keeping track of terms, record keeping, basic housekeeping, advertising openings, etc. Planning: 1. Minimal -ithey 2. Minimal. may have a "political" agenda EDC: 1. A "one page" updated periodically on job expectations, etc. for a commissioner. 2. Placement of the ads and initial contact with the candidate to notify them of the interview dage. 3. Limited, i~fany. 4. None. 5. Preliminary screening of candidates to check on prior experience and negative past actions that will reflect badly on city or have cost city money. Charter: 1. An application supplied and filled out. 2. I think the more members involved, the more time it will take and possibly more confusion. It should be upon a few board and commission teams for the appointment process. 3. Receive c ;andidates' applications and forward to commission. 4. They could be helpful in reviewing the applications. If there would be a large number" of candidates, they could possibly screen and narrow down the number of candidates to be interviewi~d. They can coordinate the setting up of the interviews, contacting candidates and commissioners on time and location.
