Councilmember Musgrove commented on the great pool of candidates. <br />Councilmember Riley commented that it seemed there were more candidates this year and asked <br />if the City did anything different to recruit potential candidates. <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher commented that the process began earlier because of the <br />vacant positions on the EDA. <br />Councilmember Riley commented that going forward he would support including current members <br />up for reappointment in the interviews. He stated that he would not want to appoint someone to <br />multiple Boards or Commissions in the future. He noted that if someone that is currently serving <br />on a Board would like to apply for another Board, he would like to see that person say that they <br />would resign from their current position to change appointments. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would also support changing that policy. <br />Mayor Kuzma agreed that would make sense. <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher commented that this year there was a great pool of <br />candidates but that is not always the case. She stated that the policy provides the Council <br />flexibility, but it does not mean the Council must consider someone for multiple positions. She <br />provided background on the feedback that has been received from existing Board and Commission <br />members related to interviews. <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that it helps the Council to make decisions if they are able <br />to hear from the existing members seeking reappointment. <br />Councilmember Heineman commented that the Council should weigh whether it wants to have <br />candidates on multiple Boards but agreed he would not want to change the policy. He stated that <br />he would prefer to have existing members seeking reappointment involved in the interviews going <br />forward. <br />City Administrator Ulrich asked if staff could extend the Planning Commission opportunity to Jeff <br />if Brian were to decline the position. <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that the consensus of the Council was to extend that <br />position to Melissa if Brian declines. <br />3.
