Due to the scheduling of the election certification for the first meeting in December, the application provided December 17, 2014, as the first meeting scheduled for presentations by applicants. The City Council may by majority vote extend the second presentation date to the next calendar year or may schedule a special meeting in December for the second presentation date. Offering the option of two different meetings for conducting the Commission interviews is preferred due to potential scheduling conflicts for the applicants. As mentioned, December 17 has already been advertised for interviews. Potential dates the Council may wish to consider for scheduling the second round of Commission interviews include the following Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.: December 3 (not offered due to election certification and reorganization) December 10 (special meeting) December 24 (not recommended due to holiday) January 7 (regular meeting) January 14 (special meeting) January 21 (regular meeting) The scheduling of the Commission interviews in January requires a vote to amend rules.
