CityCouncil | 2011-02-15 | 13 | overlap if each Councilmember picks an organization. Councilmember Johnson stated the Mayor could ask for representatives from the organizations. Mayor Gilmore stated that she likes the idea of a list of various organizations; suggested limiting the group to 14 to 15 which would expand Step 1; the Council sub-committee could provide a list to the Human Resource Director; the Human Resource Director could e-mail the list to the rest of Council for input. Vice Mayor Bonta stated that he agrees with the three panels; Step 3 [the reception] is a valuable piece of the process; the process should be as open and transparent as possible; the more input the better; having the public meet the finalists and provide input is important. Mayor Gilmore stated having candidates go through the process [reception] could be awkward because two of the three candidates would be rejected. Councilmember Johnson inquired whether Step 3 [the reception] could be narrowed down to one candidate, to which Mayor Gilmore, Councilmember Tam, and Councilmember deHaan responded they are okay with said idea. Councilmember Johnson stated Step 3 could happen before the contract. Vice Mayor Bonta stated a reception would be good at a later date but would not allow community input. Mayor Gilmore stated Council has reached consensus on the three panels [stakeholders, Department Heads, and bargaining unit leaders] and has decided not to decide address the social event; the social event could be discussed later. The Acting City Attorney requested clarification on how Councilmembers would select one person per Councilmember. Mayor Gilmore stated that she assumes that each Councilmember would provide a name to the Human Resources Director; the Human Resource Director would advise Council in the event Councilmembers nominate the same person. Vice Mayor Bonta stated deciding the number on the stakeholder panel would be helpful in order to know how many organizations to have. The Human Resources Director stated getting all calendars together might be difficult. Councilmember Johnson stated a date should be set with five representatives; notice could be given to organizations to send a representative; if a representative cannot come, another organization could be selected.
