outlined options listed in the case with filling this vacancy. She suggested running a short <br /> recruitment with an application deadline of July 10, 2022 in the paper. The Ramsey Resident has <br /> already been printed so it will not include a deadline. She stated the other option is to attempt a <br /> full advertisement but it would be short recruitment in order to meet the timelines. She stated there <br /> are four applications on file from the last recruitment and an additional application that has already <br /> come in. Additional applications are expected as a result of the newspaper and newsletter ad. She <br /> asked for direction on whether the Council was satisfied with the number of applicants or if they <br /> wanted to do more advertising, which would require overtime pay for Staff to accomplish given <br /> the Staff shortages. She also asked for direction regarding the applications that are already on file <br /> and if Council wanted Staff to reach out to those applicants to answer the questions that have been <br /> added to the new application for consistency. <br /> Councilmember Howell commented in the spirit of wanting to reach as many people in the <br /> community as possible so they can participate even though it is extra work, she would support that. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked about the precedence prior to the policy that was just instituted <br /> and if applications were kept and send them back up because the judge may have already received <br /> them. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied they are kept. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked if there was a vacancy would they be sent up or not. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher asked if she was asking about prior years under the other <br /> City Clerk. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove replied yes. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied she didn't know the answer. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove stated her thought is to reach out to the applicants to see if they are still <br /> interested and to get the new questions so everyone has the same questions. She asked if the recent <br /> applicant had the new application with the new questions. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher replied the new questions are currently posted on the <br /> website so the applicant that applied a few days ago answered different questions and there are <br /> several that are different. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove suggested Administrative Services Director Lasher reach out to the <br /> applicants so they are answering the same questions. <br /> Administrative Services Director Lasher noted on the supplemental questions that are on the <br /> agenda, questions number two, three, six, and seven are either different or completely new. She <br /> summarized that Council direction was to reach out to the four previous applicants to verify that <br /> they are still interested and ask them to send an email answering the four different questions. <br /> City Council/June 14,2022 <br /> Page 15 of 17 <br />
