City Council Announcements
March 24, 2009
A. Information Needed by Council Staff
1. In December 2007, the City Council approved Mr. Ed Radford to the alternate position on the Board of Adjustment. At this time, there is a request to adjust Mr. Radford’s position to a full-fledged member and begin his term again. Would the Council be comfortable appointing Mr. Radford without an interview, as he was interviewed in December 2007 prior to his appointment as an alternate member? Ms. Gust-Jenson said Mr. Ed Radford had been interviewed in December of 2007 and some of the members were not on the Council then. She said he became an alternate on the Board of Adjustment and now there was a full position open. She said the Administration wanted to move him into the open position and it would take a Council vote. She asked if the Council wanted to reinterview Mr. Radford? Most Council Members were in favor of not re-interviewing Mr. Radford.
2. The Council Chair would like to propose a standard process for reviewing petitions given the Council's discussion at the retreat.
Provided the new process the Council utilizes to approve grant funding within the Consent Agenda, an outline of the grant applications is below. The details of each grant are also attached. If you have any objections, please speak with a member of staff. Councilmember Christensen said by delaying a decision after a public hearing to another meeting, the Council could end up with a long public comment section as well. Councilmember Love said since they came up with the idea of delaying a decision for a couple of weeks in an effort to be more transparent, maybe it was having a counter effect. She said on the night of the hearing everyone interested was present and they wanted to hear what the Council was thinking. Councilmember Christensen suggested adding a new section before the Public Comments to make final decisions on public hearings that had already been heard. He said if the Council wanted additional comment then they could continue the public hearing. All Council Members were in favor of adding a new section to the agenda before Public Comments to make final decisions on public hearings.. Councilmember Christensen said the new suggestion would be on the next agenda.
