<br />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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher replied they are kept. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if there was a vacancy would they be sent up or not. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher asked if she was asking about prior years under the other <br />City Clerk. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove replied yes. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher replied she didn’t know the answer. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove suggested Administrative Services Director Lasher reach out to the <br />applicants so they are answering the same questions. <br /> <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 /> <br />City Council /June 14, 2022 <br />Page 15 of 17 <br /> <br />
