Board directs staff to contact previously interviewed alternate candidate and continue outreach
Summary
The board reviewed city code on alternates and directed staff to reach out to a previously interviewed candidate (Miss Stant) to confirm availability, while continuing to solicit additional alternate applicants for the Culture and Leisure Services Board.
The Culture and Leisure Services Board reviewed City Code section 2-171m and discussed whether to restore alternate-member appointments for continuity of business. Staff noted the board historically maintained two alternates and currently has at least one previously interviewed candidate in the application pool.
The board voted to direct staff to contact the previously interviewed candidate to confirm her availability and, depending on her response, proceed with a recommendation to City Council while continuing to advertise for additional applicants. Staff emphasized that having alternates can smooth transitions when regular members move or terms expire.
The motion was approved unanimously; staff will proceed with outreach and continue broader recruitment efforts for alternate seats.
