(to be provided) President Litten provided the following oral report: Committee of the Whole met this evening. Our sole agenda item, with the exception of approving our minutes, was our process as a Council for appointing a new member to the Ward 4 Council seat. In doing so, we discussed a few different options of how we might limit candidates or not, about how long we wanted to meet with each candidate, about if we could do so virtually or not. Ultimately, we decided to meet next Monday May 23rd as well as the following Tuesday May 31s' to conduct interviews with all 11 applicants of Ward 4. Those will be 20-minute interviews to be held over the course of those two meetings. Our Council staff will work to schedule interviews with those candidates. My fellow councilmembers will be free and welcome to meet with candidates as we proceed through that process with the hope of making an appointment in early June. Motion by President Litten, seconded by Vice President Kepple to receive and file the oral report. 1
