Summary

A committee member requested that the council or committee quickly resume consideration of potential city support for the Mackie business development director position now that a candidate may be ready; the chair said the matter will go to the common council next Tuesday unless members object.

A committee member asked that the council or this committee quickly revisit the question of city involvement in the Mackie business development director position, saying an executive director reported they may be ready to extend an offer to a candidate in the next few days.

Committee member Mr. Bargh said the committee had previously voted unanimously to table further consideration of the matter until a candidate was identified and that Denise Soneman, executive director, informed him an offer could be imminent. He requested the item be brought to the common council next Tuesday or returned to this committee within two weeks for discussion.

Committee members agreed that bringing the item to the whole council at its next meeting would speed the hiring process; no formal motion was recorded in the transcript. The chair adjourned the meeting after taking no other future-agenda items.
