Policy 2.2 of City Council Policies Resolution states applicants for the Arts Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Planning Commission are required to attend a regular or special City Council meeting, as scheduled by the City Clerk, to make a brief presentation on qualifications and interest in the appointment. The recruitments specified December 16, 2020, as one of the City Council meetings for applicants to make a brief presentation on qualifications and interest in appointment. The City Council may by majority vote further extend the date for the presentations. All applicants have been invited to attend a City Council meeting, either on December 16, 2020, or January 6, 2021, to give a presentation with a maximum presentation time period of three (3) minutes. All applications have been provided to Council under separate cover. The City Clerk will conduct a random drawing of the names of the applicants scheduled to present on December 16 just prior to the start of the meeting to determine the order in which they will speak.

The Council policies have been followed for the posting and publication of notice of the vacancies. 2 Honorable City Council December 16, 2020 Regular Meeting Page 3 Additionally, Council Policy 2.2 (Advertising and Appointment Procedures for Appointments to Boards, Commissions, and Committees), Subsection 7 provides that, “A presentation will not be required if after recruitment a determination is made by the City Clerk that only the incumbents for the expiring appointments have reapplied.” In the case of the Art Commission, there are five positions available and five applications have been received; therefore it has been determined that presentations from the incumbents reapplying to continue service are not required. Therefore, only 24 of the 28 applicants are required to provide presentations for City Council consideration. Due to COVID-19 gathering restrictions and in order to schedule applicants for virtual presentations at the December 16, 2020, meeting, staff randomly selected 18 of the applicants for presentations this evening, and the remaining six applicants will be scheduled for the January 6, 2021, City Council meeting. The Council’s Policy resolution also provides the procedure for appointments as follows; this procedure will be utilized at the January 6, 2021, meeting to nominate and appoint members to the respective Commissions: A. The Mayor shall solicit suggested nominees from members of the Council. B. Prior to making a motion for appointment, the Mayor shall announce the names of all persons he/she intends to nominate, and in the order to be nominated, for a board, commission, or committee. C. The Mayor shall make a motion putting forth each individual name to be approved for appointment. D. A second shall be required. E. The Council shall vote on each appointment individually. FISCAL IMPACT None. COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action does not support a current strategic directive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Hear presentations from a random selection of 18 of the applicants and defer the appointments until the remaining six presentations are completed at the meeting of January 6, 2021. 3
