He stated he has talked to some board members and <br />has heard words like "disrespectful" and "insulting" that these people are being required to go <br />through the interview process again. He indicated another concern is that there does not seem to <br />be a huge pool of candidates from which to make appointments, and stated he is concerned that if <br />incumbents in very good standing feel they may be turned down for appointment, they might <br />never run again. He encouraged the Committee to consider the consequences so that this does <br />not happen. <br />Chairperson Jeffrey stated the Personnel Committee will discuss this matter in further detail in <br />Case #3. <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br />Chairperson Jeffrey requested the addition of one item to the agenda to select a Chair of the <br />Personnel Committee for the coming year. <br />Motion by Chairperson Jeffrey, seconded by Councilmember McGlone, to approve the agenda as <br />amended. <br />Personnel Committee/January 27, 2009 <br />Page 1 of 8 <br />
