Home

The Councilmembers agreed that Mr. Surma is dedicated to the City and will continue to provide his great feedback and thoughts to the Council. Councilmember Kuzma stated he liked Mr. Anderson's background for Planning Commission and stated Mr. Surma would be his other choice because of his background. He noted he also thinks Mr. Bayer would be a good fit for the EDA. Councilmember Shryock stated Mr. Anderson seemed to have the knowledge to hit the ground running. She stated she feels Mr. Sis would be great on the Parks and Recreation Board due to the fact he is a young family man and will probably be more likely to have a large interest in the parks. Councilmember Williams stated she liked that Mr. Sis provided background on his leadership skills and noted he ranked highest for her. Councilmember Riley asked whether staff will keep all the candidates on file for a certain amount of time to fill as suitable positions become available they are interested in. Human Resources Manager Lasher read the cover letter sent out with applications that noted all applicants will be kept on file and put up for review as commission seats become available for the next year. The consensus of the Council was to appoint Mr. Anderson to the Planning Commission and Mr. Sis to the Parks and Recreation Board. Human Resources Manager Lasher stated she would notify the candidates. There was a consensus from the Council to review and revise the interview questions to include: a question regarding the core values of the City; a behavior and situational question; and, to add the definitions and roles for each Commission. 3.
