ADOPTION OF AGENDA

In keeping with the nature of a Special Council Meeting for the purpose of interviewing Planning Commission candidates, it is recommended that the normal of order of the Agenda be set aside.

DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS

Planning Commission Interviews

Resolution No. 6411, passed in April, 2000, established the process for the Planning Commission interviews and appointment. All candidates are invited to participate in a group interview so that interaction between candidates and Councilmembers can be promoted. The interviews are conducted in a public interview process with questions posed to each candidate by the City Council and each candidate is given sufficient time to respond to the questions. At the conclusion of the group interviews, each Councilmember will complete a prepared ballot that the City Manager/Attorney will tabulate and then report the results of the balloting at the public meeting. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes from at least three (3) Councilmembers shall be appointed.

The guidelines also outline a run-off procedure when two or more candidates tie in the initial balloting. The results of each individual Councilmember’s vote will be a matter of public record and will be made available to the public upon request pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act and the Public Records Act.

The two candidates appointed by the Council will be given the Oath of Office at the conclusion of the balloting.

ADJOURNMENT

The next Regular Council meeting will be held February 24, 2009:

6:00 P.M. Closed Session; 7:00 P.M. Regular Session.
