BACKGROUND
A vacancy occurred in December 2018 as a result of the resignation of Rita Xavier, who is now a member of the City Council.
One application has been received for City Council consideration:
1). Paul V. Morris
Applicant is a San Pablo resident. Attached to this staff report is the completed application for City Council review and consideration this evening (See Attachment).
The City Manager is developing a list of questions for interviewing the candidate. Staff intends to provide these questions to the City Council at the Council meeting to ensure fairness and impartiality; as such the questions are not included at this time.
It is recommended that prior to starting the interview, the Council should receive any public comments. The City Manager then recommends that the candidate be given one minute to introduce themselves and share why they are interested in the Planning Commission vacancy. Council can then proceed to ask the designated questions of the candidate (one question per Councilmember). At the conclusion of Council’s questions, each applicant would have 1-2 minutes to provide closing comments for their candidacy.
Following the interview, the Council will deliberate and select a candidate by formal motion and majority vote. The official appointment would be approved by Resolution and the new Planning Commissioner sworn in
