9.b) City Council Vacancy Meeting Date: 10/19/2010 Agenda Item: �°; �� City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209th St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Discuss the next steps to fill the vacancy on the City Council created by the resignation of John Lindell. Deadline/Timeline: The vacancy should be filled as soon as possible. Background: • At its September 21 meeting, the City Council declared a vacancy on the Council and directed staff to advertise for applicants for appointment to the Council. The vacancy was advertised in the local media, the City newsletter mailed to all households on Ocotber l, and on the website. • The applications received by the deadline of 4:00 p.m. on Friday, October 15 are attached. Until these applicants are considered "finalists" (typically meaning that an interview has been scheduled) the names are confidential. • Preliminarily, the Council had decided to hold interviews during the week of October 25, with an appointment to be made at a November meeting. However, we have heard that some members may have scheduling conflicts that may make interviewing that week difficult. Also, we have had questions from candidates in the November 2 City Council election about how they might be considered for appointment. Recommendation: I recommend that the Council schedule a date to interview applicants for the City Council vacancy. A calendar showing city meeting dates is provided for the Council's use in scheduling. The Council may wish to consider holding interviews on Monday, November 8. The appointment could be added to the November 9 special meeting agenda or be scheduled for the November 16 regular meeting. Attachments/ • November/December 2010 Calendar Materials provided: .
