Due to the number of applications received, staff recommends that the City Council review the written materials received from applicants, and develop a process to create a short list of approximately 20 to 25 applicants to interview.

 

The City Council may wish to consider the following alternative motions/actions:

 

1. Direct each Councilmember to select five (5) applicants to determine the short list to interview and submit applicants to the City Clerk by [insert date]. The City Council may also want to consider selecting one additional alternate, for potential interview, if the City Council selections result in duplication to reach the 20 to 25 short list.

 

2. Appoint a two member City Council Subcommittee to review written materials and select twenty (20) applicants and submit to the City Clerk to prepare a short list. The City Clerk to distribute the short list to the three Council members, not on the Subcommittee, who shall each add two (2) applicants to the short list for interviews.

 

3. Direct each Councilmember to select fifteen (15) applicants and submit to the City Clerk to prepare a short list and distribute to the City Council. Direct each Council member to then select five (5) applicants from the short list for interviews.
