would be another application process. She thought that is what the policy is meant to eliminate, <br />doing it twice. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma commented that these members have all been on for some time and the Chairs have <br />all made recommendations to reappoint. He stated he knew several of them and felt they have <br />contributed a lot. He recommended that Council move these five incumbents forward and review <br />the policy next week to make the needed changes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley commented a benefit is that the number of applicants fits the number of <br />openings so they are not turning anyone away, that it actually works out right now. He stated that <br />makes not following the policy moot and the policy will be fixed next week to make it workable <br />for what the Council wants and for the Staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented, for the record, that it doesn’t make the policy moot, the <br />Council just never had an opportunity to look at it, acknowledge these or not, and then advertise <br />for more or let the community know there were all the opportunities. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley replied advertising wouldn’t have changed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if they don’t advertise for all of the positions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley replied they advertised for all of the positions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if they advertised for all of these. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher replied yes, they did. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich commented they don’t say the number of positions because that <br />fluctuates, they just say solicitations are taken every year for Boards and Commissions and let <br />Staff know if they are interested. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if there was one for every one of these positions or just 12 <br />openings. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher replied she didn’t say how many were on each Board, <br />that the Ramsey Resident and The Union stated “The City of Ramsey is accepting applications for <br />the EPB, the EDA” and so on. All of them were listed because things change at the last minute <br />also. She stated that is why she likes to keep it broad, to be able to offer as much as they possibly <br />can. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove replied she understood that but she was saying that is a policy decision <br />so that is where she thinks it will be important to have the policy discussion. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher agreed. <br /> <br />City Council Special Work Session / March 15, 2022 <br />Page 6 of 19 <br /> <br />
