Council outlines mayor-selection process: applications due Sept. 5, interviews Sept. 8 packet
Summary
Council agreed to interview all applicants for the vacant mayor seat, set the application closing date as Sept. 5 and the packet publication for Sept. 8, and confirmed the chair will preside but be excused from voting on the appointment.
The North Plains City Council set the timeline and procedures for selecting a new mayor. Councilors agreed the application period will close on Sept. 5 and staff will include submitted applications in the packet published for the Sept. 8 meeting; late applications may be added on the morning of the 8th.
The chair announced he intends to apply for mayor and sought the council’s consent to be excused from voting on the appointment. City Attorney Emily advised that excusing participation is handled "by unanimous consent," and with no objections raised the chair confirmed he would preside over interviews but would not vote on the outcomes.
Councilors agreed to interview all applicants and to publish or email the set of interview questions to ensure transparency. Ross Schultz, speaking about logistics, confirmed the closing date and packet timing: "the applicant closing time is, September 5," and that applications received up to the packet publication would be included.
