RECOMMENDATION
Applicant interviews for Zoning & Design Review Board to fill three (3) expiring terms.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
The Town Council will interview the applicants listed below and will consider the appointment of three members to the Zoning & Design Review Board. The Town Council Handbook outlines the procedure as follows:
The Town Council will interview applicants at one or more meetings during which each applicant will be evaluated by considering qualifications and performance during the interview(s). To ensure a fair and transparent process, each Council Member is required to indicate their preferred applicant utilizing a ballot system. At the same or future meeting, the Town Council will consider appointing the applicant(s) receiving the highest number of ballots. In the event two or more applicants receive an equal number of ballots (“tied applicants”) and there are fewer vacancies than tied applicants, the Council will resolve the tie by holding another round of balloting exclusively among the tied applicants. At the same or future meeting, the Town Council will consider appointing the applicant(s) receiving the highest number of ballots. In the event the number of applicants equals the number of vacancies, the Town Council may waive the interviews and make the appointments based on the applicants' qualifications. This allows the Town Council to promptly fill available positions while ensuring all selected candidates meet the qualifications for their respective roles. All ballots shall be disclosable public records.
