WORKSHOP ITEM Cathy Sorensen, City Clerk
Title
2021 BOARD/COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS
Background
With new Mayor/Council starting staff would like input on the 2021 Board/Commission appointment process which will occur in March. In the past Council has interviewed both incumbents and new applicants to provide Council and members an opportunity to meet. If that is Council’s wish staff will schedule those interviews, likely virtually this year, but if Council prefers a different process that could be arranged as well. Options could include interviewing new applicants only, a subcommittee of Council could conduct interviews for recommendation to full Council, or staff liaison interviews for Council recommendation.
City Council had requested that periodic joint meetings be scheduled between the Council and the Boards/Commissions. The first joint meeting was scheduled with NRCB in spring 2020; it was postponed due the pandemic, and was recently held in December. In 2021, it is anticipated that joint meetings will be scheduled with other Boards/Commissions.
Recommendation
Council input is requested.
