Summary

Council members discussed availability for an Aug. 5 meeting proposed for a consultant presentation; the Chair said they would attend virtually and staff offered to circulate alternative dates if needed to secure full in-person attendance.

Council members raised scheduling conflicts after staff proposed a consultant presentation and draft job materials for Aug. 5. The Chair said they would need to attend remotely for both the Aug. 5 meeting and another meeting on the 19th, and asked that Council President Chilton or another member preside in person. "I will be virtual for both," the Chair said.

Another council member said they preferred rescheduling to ensure more members could attend in person; staff agreed to send a poll and alternative dates after further meetings with the consultant. Staff told the council that an agenda and any preparatory materials would be sent in advance so members can review the draft position profile and job description before the meeting.
