1) Refer back to the most recent recruitment file in an effort to identify a viable candidate <br />that has already successfully passed the interview process. If a candidate is identified and <br />willing to serve on the given board or commission, the Human Resources Manager will <br />consult with the City Administrator and act according to the City Administrator's <br />direction; if applicable, a resolution appointing the new member will be presented to the <br />City Council. <br />2) Prepare a detailed notice of position availability for publication once in the City <br />newsletter and in the City's official newspaper, as required by the Charter. <br />The application deadline will be no less than two weeks after the date of publication or posting in <br />the City's official newspaper. <br />3. Interviews <br />The Human Resources Manager will arrange interview times and notify applicants and the City <br />Council of the arrangements. <br />If there are more than five applicants for a vacancy, the City Council will evaluate the <br />applications and select five applicants to be interviewed. <br />Interview questions will be determined before the interview based on qualifications identified as <br />necessary, as well as to accurately identify each applicant's knowledge, skills, and abilities, <br />and the benefits that the applicant, if appointed, may bring to the board or commission in the <br />future. <br />All applicants will be asked the same questions. Depending on responses, some follow-up <br />questions will differ from candidate to candidate for purposes of clarification. <br />The City Council will evaluate applicants by comparing responses to interview questions, <br />information contained in the letter of interest/application, and potential contribution to the <br />existing diversity of expertise, experience and geographic representation on the applicable board <br />or commission. <br />Interviews will not be televised but will be held in an open meeting. <br />4. Selection <br />Recommendations from the City Council regarding appointments will be forwarded to the next <br />regular meeting of the City Council for consideration. <br />When vacancies occur on the EDA, the Mayor will make a recommendation for appointment to <br />the City Council. <br />Except where a vacancy unexpectedly occurs, creating a vacant seat mid-term, all new <br />appointments or reappointments to regular terms on a City board or commission will be effective <br />on April 1. This is to allow the current members of the City Council the opportunity to review <br />and select individuals for seats on boards and commissions. <br />2 <br />
