Each applicant was asked predetermined questions alternately by the Council plus
additional questions of conflict of interest, the course of action one would take
if he disagreed with the ordinances, the applicant's priorities for the City, what
special skills or abilities the applicant brings to the Planning Commission, why
the applicant is applying for the Commission at this time, what would be the
reaction of the applicant if some major proposal he had been working on would
ultimately be rejected by the Council; what is the relationship between the Council
and the Commission, and the applicant's abilities to work with the existing
Commissioners.
Council discussion was then on what course of action to take in view of the fact that
four of the applicants did not appear this evening. Council agreed to have the
City Clerk contact those people to determine if they received the proper notice for
the interview and their reasons for not appearing this evening. The Council will
then determine at the Tuesday, February 16, meeting as to whether to schedule another
date for interviews or to make a selection from those already interviewed. The
terms to be filled are one 2-year term and two 3-year terms.
