Councilmember Woestehoff replied he thought Councilmember Howell had a good point. He <br /> asked what sets the rules, or what is the process, around appointing a Chair. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied she believed it is just discussion within the Board <br /> or Commission to get a nomination of who would be good at it. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if it was reviewed annually. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied it is always looked at in April. <br /> Mayor Kuzma replied he liked the idea. He asked if there was consensus on adding that in, then <br /> noted there was Council consensus. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher thanked Councilmember Howell for bringing that up. <br /> 2.02: Discuss Developing a Charter Commission Recruitment Policy <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher stated this case is to discuss the first Charter Commission <br /> Recruitment Policy. She stated a draft of a policy of how to approach Charter Commission <br /> openings which occur on a calendar year basis versus April to March is attached to the case. She <br /> reviewed the draft policy. She stated it was based on ideas from the city of Northfield. She stated <br /> the Charter Commission recruitment is different from other boards and commission in that those <br /> are handled by Human Resources and the Charter Commission will be handled by the City Clerk. <br /> She asked for feedback from the Council. <br /> Mayor Kuzma commented he thought the section on authority should be kept in. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied okay. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked if this met her approval in her role as the City Clerk. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied it is getting there. She stated it was a real rush to <br /> do. She thanked Councilmember Musgrove and Councilmember Howell for giving her language <br /> for it because prior to this morning, she didn't have language. She thought the discussion was <br /> going to start the process but now they have a head start on it and it was good information. She <br /> wanted it to be refined because it isn't in good form right now but it is a good start. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove referenced the section labeled "Terms" and the statement that <br /> incumbents will be allowed to serve until a successor is appointed. She asked if that is the same <br /> for the Charter Commission and the Boards and Commissions. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied she would need to double check. <br /> City Attorney Knaak replied it is statutory that they remain until a successor is appointed. <br /> City Council Work Session/April 12, 2022 <br /> Page 5 of 18 <br />
