Councilmember Heineman commented that he personally has never wanted to coerce someone to <br />wear a mask or not to but believed individuals should have freedom to decide for themselves.

He stated this could include <br />reinterviewing, introducing them as a new candidate, considering the recommendations of the <br />chair and vice chair of the respective groups and reappoint if deemed appropriate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Heineman replied it should be consistent. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Riley agreed and added that it is his preference that if someone has been serving <br />and it is suggested that they continue to serve that the process not be started over with <br />reinterviewing.
