COMMISSIONER SELECTION PROCESS Councilman Amstrup indicated that he felt we should revise our cornmis-sioner application form to indicate only one choice for a commissionto be interviewed for but that they may indicate interests in anothercommission. He suggested that Council only interview for their firstchoice and that Council interview teams would refer prospective can-didates to other commissions for review. The Council concurred withthis suggestion. Mayor Mangini asked whether we should eliminate the 2-term rule. Councilman Amstrup indicated that he would support this idea. Coun-cilwoman Barton indicated she would like to look for some middleground since she understands that $re have had to let good people go but she also wishes to make commission spaces available to new peopl-e. Councilman Lembi suggested one approach would be to appoint an in-dividual for one term only. At the end of the term, there $rould be anintervievr of the existing commissioner and any new interested can-didates so that everyone would go through the screening processequally. Councilman Pagliaro indicated that he felt the problem wasthat the Council has never had the guts to replace current commis-sioners with new candidates when needed. After discussion, it was the Council consensus that staff shouldprepare a revision to our existing commissioner appointment resolutionso that a commissioner is appointed for only one termi at the end ofthat term, he or she may interview along with others interested for a subsequent term. Councilmembers indicated that reinterviewing should also term currfor would propose time limits on leaf blowers of 8 a.m. to 7 days and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
