Staff to circulate interview questions; administrators to verify candidate qualifications

Staff told commissioners they would circulate a draft set of stock questions used in prior interviews and would draft panel-specific question sets for review. "I can circulate kind of some of those stock questions, that we've maybe used in prior interviews and, and see maybe what you guys you can highlight ones you for sure want included or absolutely don't want included," the staff member said.

The commission discussed soliciting input from panelists and from Chief Kelly about potential questions. A committee member stressed that administrative staff should verify candidate eligibility: "make sure that each candidate that we are gonna be interviewing do do in fact, meet the minimum requirements that, what is what is stated in the job description is in fact being met by each candidate." Staff was assigned to share drafts with commissioners and panelists and to report back; the exact schedule and final interview dates remain to be set.
