Councilmember Musgrove referenced the title "Recommendations" and asked if it is <br /> recommendations for the Judge. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff agreed and stated this document is a policy and under the <br /> recommendation section, he likes number one that states Council has no recommendations. He <br /> commented that recommending people from all walks of life should be considered by the Judge <br /> but he didn't know if it needed to be included in the policy or in this spot. <br /> Councilmember Heineman commented when it is said Council doesn't want to have input on who <br /> is selected to the Charter, he takes it to mean not having input on applicants. He thought having a <br /> standard statement that to be a Charter member it would be helpful to know the forms of <br /> government, what the Constitution looks like, and a general idea of political science. He thought <br /> they could give general guidance which wouldn't be contradictory to having direct influence. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher suggested changing the title to "Recommendations and <br /> Desired Qualifications." <br /> There was Council consensus to change the title to "Recommendations and Desired <br /> Qualifications." <br /> Councilmember Howell agreed, adding they were tasked with developing a policy which she <br /> thought should include qualities for someone who would do well on the Charter for the Judge. She <br /> stated the Judge will have discretion on what kind of governmental philosophy applicants have. <br /> She thought that was the Council being hands off while showing that they cared about the <br /> qualifications of the applicants. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if all three points are going to remain. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff replied he liked the change of title because it helps him better <br /> associate what that section is. The desired qualifications, those could be outlined in the policy but <br /> he would defer to the application questions that allow the applicant to express their skill sets and <br /> desires. <br /> Mayor Pro Tem Riley pointed out Councilmember Heineman's qualification list to be people who <br /> have a broad knowledge of government and philosophy. <br /> Councilmember Heineman replied all three points are kept in but number two is changed to be <br /> very broad and short. <br /> Mayor Kuzma commented they can try this and if it causes confusion for the Judge, it can be <br /> revisited and modified. <br /> Councilmember Howell asked if Councilmember Heineman had a suggestion for making number <br /> three more concise. <br /> City Council Work Session/May 10, 2022 <br /> Page 22 of 32 <br />
