Council asks subcommittee to screen 28 applicants for hospital task force
Summary
The council directed a subcommittee to screen 28 applicants and return recommendations for a balanced hospital task force slate (suggested 11–13 members); the council approved the recommended action unanimously.
Council reviewed a pool of 28 applicants for a hospital task force and discussed whether the full council should interview all applicants or delegate screening to an ad hoc committee. City staff and council members recommended a balanced task force with varied backgrounds rather than a group composed solely of medical professionals or real‑estate stakeholders.
Council asked staff and the ad hoc committee to propose questions and screening criteria and recommended returning a slate of roughly 11–13 nominees for council consideration. The council approved the recommended action to authorize the subcommittee to screen and return recommendations; there were no public comments on this item.
Council emphasized the need for geographic and experiential balance and suggested outreach to residents not normally involved in council meetings.
