Administrative Services Director Lasher asked if he was saying yes, leave it up on the website but <br /> don't actively recruit all year. <br /> Councilmember Specht replied yes. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff commented he echoed that and thought the more opportunity the <br /> better, even if it is promoted for a smaller window, there is no harm in that. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied okay. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented she thought there is a follow-up that automatically goes <br /> out. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied there is. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove continued she didn't know if the follow-up could reference any time <br /> frame or action going on and when it happens so people aren't waiting or wondering when they <br /> could anticipate hearing back on an interview process. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff agreed that is a great point. He stated right now there is a boards and <br /> commission website. He thought the application could be there the whole time but it could say <br /> terms start in April so there is some level of expectation but if an opening happens ahead of time <br /> they can apply earlier. He thought being able to communicate that is key. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove commented if the application was going to be left up, she didn't want <br /> anyone to be discouraged because of a lack of communication. She stated she was in favor of <br /> leaving the application up passively with communication and having an active recruitment time. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied she thought that is excellent. She continued when <br /> applications come in through the website a notification is sent to staff and the applicant gets an <br /> automatic response which would include a message and number to call with questions. She asked <br /> about the process for incumbents. She stated the discussion with Councilmembers Musgrove and <br /> Howell today was that for the current recruitment that is pending appointment of incumbents, it <br /> would be left as is and do the reappointments. For terms beginning in 2023 interviews of <br /> incumbents with the Council would be required. She asked for Council feedback on that. <br /> Mayor Kuzma commented that if the interview was being slanted to say what did they learn versus <br /> interviewing them as if they were new. He stated it was hard enough to get people to serve on <br /> commissions so he wouldn't want to make them feel as if they are interviewing for the position <br /> for the first time. He thought asking incumbents what they learned and what could be done better <br /> was a good idea. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied okay. <br /> City Council Work Session/April 12, 2022 <br /> Page 2 of 18 <br />
