Junction City schedules interviews after three municipal judge RFP responses
Summary
Council reviewed three timely RFP responses for municipal judge, discussed past selection practice of interviewing candidates in executive session, and set November interview timing with staff to prepare questions and arrange executive-session interviews.
Junction City staff reported three timely responses to the municipal judge request for proposals and outlined options for the council’s next steps, including forming a selection committee or interviewing all three candidates.
Staff recounted the 2017 approach where a selection committee interviewed applicants in executive session and then made a public recommendation. Councilors agreed the city should interview the three candidates and that the interviews could be held in executive session, followed by a public recommendation and motion. Council members discussed potential dates and settled on scheduling interview-planning and candidate interviews in mid-November, asking staff to circulate suggested questions for council review.
Council requested staff avoid the Thanksgiving week, to distribute interview questions in advance, and to consider holding interviews as a single-topic meeting so candidates are each interviewed separately in executive session. No appointment was made; staff will return with scheduling details and prepared questions.
