MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL Monday, February 14, 2011 7:00 o' clock p.m. (MAYORICOLWCIL REPORT, Continued) McMillan asked how the Council feels about the appointment process now that the Council has finished the second set of interviews. McMillan asked whether the Council would like another round of interviews for the final candidates prior to February 28h. Bremer indicated she would be receptive to that if other Council members feel it is necessary. Bremer stated in her view everyone has had a good opportunity to ask questions and to gather input from the various candidates. Franchot stated he would be agreeable to holding a final round of interviews if the Council is stuck on two candidates. Printup commented the individual Council members will have two weeks prior to the 28th to consider the various candidates and that a final round of interviews is probably not necessary. Franchot asked whether the Mayor plans to have a discussion period regarding the candidates and then a vote or how that will be handled. McMillan indicated she would like the Council Members to make a recommendation and share their thoughts on why they would select a particular candidate. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT *12.
