Highland council schedules interviews for board vacancies; transcript shows two possible dates
Summary
Council reviewed multiple board and commission vacancies and directed staff to arrange candidate interviews; the record contains both Feb. 7 and March 7 as scheduled interview dates and staff was directed to contact applicants and collect short candidate statements.
The Highland Town Council reviewed an updated list of vacancies for statutory and legislative boards and commissions at its Jan. 26 study session and directed the Clerk‑Treasurer to schedule interviews for applicants.
Materials and discussion named vacancies on the Park and Recreation Board, the Town Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners, the Tree Board, the Main Street Bureau Board and the Community Events Commission. Several applicants were listed in meeting materials (for example, Omar Torres, Nick Russo, Jeff Minard, Jennifer Gooldy, Noel Zemaitis and others) and the Clerk‑Treasurer asked applicants to submit a short paragraph explaining why they applied and what they would bring to the board if appointed.
The Council decided to hold candidate interviews in the Community Room of the Police Station. The meeting record contains two references to scheduling: one entry states the Council scheduled a special meeting on Saturday, March 7, 2026 to conduct interviews; another entry indicates staff was instructed to arrange interviews on Saturday, February 7 beginning at 8:30 a.m. The Clerk‑Treasurer was directed to contact applicants to set interview times; the record does not resolve the date discrepancy, and staff will need to confirm the final interview schedule.
Next steps: Clerk‑Treasurer Mark Herak will reach out to applicants to collect candidate statements and to confirm interview dates and times for the announced special meeting or alternative interview schedule.
