Appointments Committee will review applicant answers to all questions contained in the
application;
B. Conduct any necessary interviews with individual applicants; and

at a regular public meeting, two or more candidates for each Board or Commission
vacancy. Members of the Council may wish to interview the recommended candidates

should be considered for each vacancy, i.e., if there are two vacancies, at least four
separate individuals will be considered.
Once the final appointments are made by the City Council, the ad -hoc appointments committee
will be dissolved.
