<br />Councilmember Musgrove commented they have a good group of people. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked how this time would be approached. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma replied it was actually pretty easy, there are four people and four positions. He <br />stated he would prefer Scott Wiyninger for the six-year term on the EDA and Shanna Stewart for <br />the four-year term on the EDA. He suggested Tom Hunt for the Planning Commission and Todd <br />Arts for the EPB. <br /> <br />There was Council agreement with Mayor Kuzma’s suggestions. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma commented he was happy with everyone. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked Administrative Services Director Lasher about process and that <br />some of the people came in and thought there was a Parks and Recreation Commission position or <br />another opening available. She asked if there was a way to advertise the open positions so people <br />don’t get discouraged. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher agreed with this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if there was an opening mid-year and Todd Arts would rather <br />serve on Park & Rec if they could offer it to him, especially if the other candidate would be willing <br />to serve on the EPB. She thought his passion for Parks and Rec was listed in his documents but a <br />position isn’t available so she would like to offer that. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma commented he thought the candidate would be just as strong on the EPB. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht replied Todd Arts may be strong but there is a difference between that and <br />what he would prefer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented she would hate for Todd Arts to say he would rather be on <br />the Park and Recreation Commission and then say after a while that he didn’t want to be on the <br />EPB and not serve. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht commented that is a valid point. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher replied she shares conversation with the candidates that <br />there are times that occur when someone signs up for a four-year term and are not able to fulfill <br />that requirement, hence the partial terms that are being filled. She had also explained to the <br />candidates that they listed a particular board as their first choice that the Council is listening to <br />answers to interview questions and may ask if candidates are interested in a different Board. She <br />thought the candidates knew there were options for them and the City is always looking for people <br />to serve. <br />City Council Special Work Session / March 15, 2022 <br />Page 3 of 19 <br /> <br />
