He would be in <br />favor of an appointment. <br />Mayor Faust stated the application for the Planning Commission is on the website and there has <br />always been an application process. <br />Councilmember Stille stated there was a special election for Mayor in December 2004. For the <br />two Council positions, applications were gathered, they were interviewed, and appointments <br />were made. He stated the Council appoints the best candidate who will serve the community the <br />best. He would like to move towards an appointment rather than an election and stated had <br />Bonnie Brever's resignation been 30 days earlier, there would have been three seats open on the <br />ballot. <br />Councilmember Jenson stated he is in favor of an appointment process. He noted 10 candidates <br />were interviewed when Bonnie Brever was appointed so it was a good, transparent, open, and <br />fair process. <br />Mayor Faust stated appointment is the right way to do this and requested the City Manager put <br />something out via the website by Friday. City Manager suggested the appointment be done at the <br />December 12 City Council Meeting. He stated it is important that the new person get to the LMC <br />New Member Meeting. <br />Ms. Maret Olson suggested the criteria be included on what they will be judged on along with <br />the application. <br />INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS — NONE. <br />ADJOURNMENT. <br />Mayor Faust adjourned the meeting at 7:55 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Debbie Wolfe <br />Timesaver off Site Secretarial, Inc. <br />41 ATTEST: <br />42 <br />43 <br />Z. 2L4�&& <br />Ci y derk <br />Mayor <br />
