the requirement to meet the timeline but was in favor of having a small ad for all Boards and Commissions. Administrative Services Director Lasher replied that is a great idea. She stated the regular Boards and Commissions policy was due to come back soon so she would be sure to include that. She stated under Partial Terms, the first step would be to go back to the recruitment file to see if there is a viable candidate that could be considered. She asked what would happen if there were more applicants than there were vacancies. She referenced the email she had forwarded on April 14, 2022 and another today where there was a response from the Chief Judge saying he wants the City to establish a separate interview panel and process. She stated she knew the Council wasn't in favor of that but it is a question she had to ask. Mayor Pro Tem Riley stated there are two minutes left before he will recess this meeting. Councilmember Howell replied she had a lot of questions and didn't remember getting the email on April 14, 2022 and asked what happened between April 12, 2022 and April 14, 2022. She thought more time was needed. Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked Administrative Services Director Lasher if there was anything else she wanted to cover quickly but they would come back to the issue Councilmember Howell raised when they reconvene. Administrative Services Director Lasher replied no, this is still on the future Work Session to talk about this on May 24,2022. RECESS AND RECONVENE Mayor Pro Tem Riley recessed the meeting at 6:59 p.m. Mayor Pro Tem Riley reconvened the meeting at 9:02 p.m. 2.04: Continued Discussions on Developing a Charter Commission Recruitment Policy (continued) Mayor Pro Tem Riley stated Administrative Services Director Lasher was about to bring up the bigger issue with the Judge's email and thought there would be a lot of questions about that. Administrative Services Director Lasher stated she had sent emails to several city clerks asking for policy samples and did not get any responses so she thought she would reach out to the Judge to see if they have any sample policies or insights. She had sent that email well prior to the Council meeting on April 12, 2022 but did not get a response until April 14, 2022 so the conversation took place without the Judge's response. She read the email "My preference as Chief Judge would be for the City to form a committee consisting of part City Charter Commission members, part City Councilmembers, part City Staff to review applications and make recommendations." She stated there were more details but that was the main point of the email. She stated prior conversations City Council Work Session/May 10, 2022 Page 16 of 32
