2017/12/20 Council Agenda Packet

From: Deb Williams Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2017 2:12 PM To: Jim lies; Marista Lane; Sharon Fuller Subject: Here is the script Judy promised. The Interim City Council Position 4, is effective starting in January 2018 running through the end of November 2018, when the 2018 election is certified. Position 4 will be in the 2018 election, to complete the term which runs through the end of 2019. Process for tonight: • 24 of the 27 applicants are available tonight and will be given 5 minutes to introduce themselves and why they feel they are the best candidate for this appointment. • We had 2 applicants withdraw and 3 of the 27 applicants could not attend this evening. Council has received by way of a letter, an introduction for Ryan Kilby who could not be here this evening. All other information has been provided to full council and a link is available on the city of Everett website for any members of the public who wish to view the applications submitted for the interim council position. Those who were not able to attend will also be considered tonight as well. • Once all the applicants have had a chance to speak, each council member will provide the clerk with 2 recommendations to move forward for interview, the city clerk will collect those, read them out loud and tally the recommendations. The 6 applicants with the most recommendations will be invited back for an interview starting at 3 pm on January 3rd. • In the event we have more or less than 6 applicants recommended for the interview process, we will have additional subsequent recommendations from Council until we have 6 applicants for the interview process. • To expedite this process tonight and in an attempt to keep this proceeding fair and equitable for all applicants the process will be as follows: • All applicants will be staged in the conference room until it is time for their introduction. • Applicants will be introduced in alphabetical order and staff will instruct each when it is their time. • Applicants will not be introduced and are asked to state their name for the record and for council. • The 5 minute allowance will be strictly enforced. Please take note of the lights, yellow means 1 minute, flashing yellow 30 seconds and red time is up. Mid-sentence or not. • There will be no public comments made regarding any of the applicants, all written comments have been collected and given to the council members. • We ask that everyone be respectful of all applicants speaking, many for the first time, and that if you enter or must leave the council chambers, that you do so in between introductions. • We also ask all members of the audience to refrain from making verbal comments and clapping during this process. • At the midway point in the introductions we will be taking a 5 min. break, after Ethel McNeal. • After all introductions are complete we will begin the selection process.
