2026-10-22 - City Council Workshop Meeting

Presentation and questions from councilmembers; PowerPoint transmitted by Senior Executive Aide Erin Bradley received and filed (Maniscalco-Miranda).

From the video: recommendations included a 45-day application timeline, qualification questions on applications, terms aligned with appointing officials with service until a replacement is confirmed, removal for excessive unexcused absences, and possibly non-city residents with strong city ties. Members differed on details; the Council Attorney said no direction could be taken with three members absent.
