Charter Review Commission votes to send interview questions to council members, sets one‑week response window
Loading...
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to distribute prepared interview questions to city council members and request written responses within one week, after amending the motion to remove anonymity and require both paper and email delivery. The motion was moved by Commissioner Myers and seconded by Commissioner Bradford.
Commissioner Dave Myers moved the commission share the prepared interview questions with members of City Council and ask them to respond in writing; Commissioner Bradford seconded the motion. After discussion, commissioners amended the motion to remove an anonymous response option and to request both hard copy and email formats with a one‑week deadline.
Myers framed the measure as a way to give council members an opportunity to respond in an official manner if they could not appear in person. Commissioners debated whether responses should be anonymous; one commissioner urged that officials attach their names because "if you're confident and you're doing things right...there really is no reason for you not to put your name on that." Another commissioner raised a procedural point that written responses from public officials might need to be signed given their official status.
The commission then voted. The chair restated the motion and called for a vote; the motion passed unanimously. The commission instructed staff and the solicitor to distribute the questions and to collect responses within the specified one‑week timeframe.
Action details: Commissioner Myers made the motion, Commissioner Bradford seconded. The commission recorded the motion and announced the vote as unanimous.
