Title
Discuss and review the Board Appointment Guidelines and conduct a slate list exercise for annual Board and Commission appointments and reappointments.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City Council conducts annual Board and Commission appointments to fill vacancies and consider reappointments for eligible members. The City Secretary’s Office received 20 new applications to fill 13 vacancies. Existing board members currently serving on Boards and Commissions who are also eligible to serve another term were not required to submit applications per the guidelines. The City Council will review applications and create a slate list of applicants to be considered for appointments.
The Council will also review the Board Appointment Guidelines to consider if any amendments are needed to the current policy. The current policy states the following:
• Actively recruit twice per year (April - May) and (November - December) to build an eligible applicant list that can roll to the next active appointment phase
• Council to review board vacancies when there is a combination of three vacancies on various boards, or two or more vacancies on one board
• At a minimum, three applications received for each board vacancy before bringing to Council for consideration
To fill vacancies in as quickly as possible, the following recommendations are outlined below:
• Council to review board vacancies when there is a combination of three two vacancies on various boards, or two or more vacancies on one board.
• At a minimum, three two applications received for each board vacancy before bringing to Council for consideration.
DISCUSSION:
No official action will be taken at this meeting. The City Council will consider annual appointments from the slate list created at the work session at its June 17, 2025, meeting.
