Mayor Kuzma commented he would like to keep it simple with the applications being sent to the <br /> Judge by the City but otherwise have a hands-off approach to allow the Judge to make the decision <br /> for complete transparency. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley stated they fall back to the suggested questions that they were going to be <br /> doing. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher stated if it is a normal annual recruitment she had no <br /> questions with regard to timelines unless Council has feedback for her. When it is a mid-year <br /> vacancy she wanted a due date identified because having an open-ended due date creates problems. <br /> She asked if, for example, the edition of the Ramsey Resident is January/February, she would like <br /> to identify the first business day in February. If it is April/May then it is the first business day in <br /> May. She noted that gives at least three full weeks from in home delivery date to the deadline, <br /> which she felt was reasonable and would help her to not wonder. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley asked if there was Council consensus with setting a firm date. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff agreed. He referenced the sentence in 2c which reads "the application <br /> deadline will be no less than three weeks after the estimated delivery date of the Ramsey Resident, " <br /> and suggested adding "the next issue of for clarification. He asked if it was correct that the goal <br /> was to have it published in the Ramsey Resident and then three weeks after that publication is <br /> received. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied that whole sentence would be revised. It wouldn't <br /> say "application deadline will be no less than three weeks after the estimated delivery date," it <br /> would say something to the effect of"the first business day of the second month as listed." She <br /> stated she will talk with Communications and Events Coordinator Thorstad to come up with <br /> wording unless the Council has suggestions. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if it was always January/February, March/April. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied yes, adding May/June. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if her goal would be the first day of the even months. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher confirmed this. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if they answered the question in number one on page two about <br /> ranking the candidates if there are more than one. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley replied they had said they didn't want City Council to have input so he <br /> suggested not ranking them. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff commented it would be clear that they wouldn't pass on an available <br /> and interested applicant. <br /> City Council Work Session/May 10, 2022 <br /> Page 18 of 32 <br />
