Council to interview four candidates for Bloomington Transit board
Summary
Council members voted to interview four applicants — Kent McDaniel, Zachary Amerman, Perry Moll and Hank Duncan — for seats on the Bloomington Transit board and asked staff to post interview times; a director of Bloomington Transit asked whether interviews would be open to the public.
The council voted to interview four applicants for seats on the Bloomington Transit board and asked staff to post the interview schedule publicly.
A council member moved, "I'll move that we interview all 4 candidates," and members agreed the interviews should be one-on-one visual sessions of 15–20 minutes. The clerk later confirmed the four applicants identified for interviews were Kent McDaniel, Zachary Amerman, Perry Moll and Hank Duncan.
The vote to proceed with interviews passed after a second and roll-call responses from members; council members discussed a timeline that would allow interviews and a recommendation before the council's next session on Sept. 2. One council member said, "I'd be very happy to reappoint Ken," citing Kent's prior votes and advocacy.
During public comment, Nancy Obermeyer introduced herself as a member of the Bloomington Transit board and asked whether the interviews would be open to the public; a staff member replied, "They are," and said interview times would be posted publicly as with other meetings.
Next steps include staff polling members' availability, posting the interview schedule, and confirming whether archived applicants who recently reappeared in the system remain eligible. The council also asked staff to confirm candidate interest before publishing the schedule.
