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 />
