Pledge of Allegiance

Motion to amend the agenda made by Mark Alarcon, Mayor Pro Tem, adding an
Executive Session to the agenda prior to the consideration of potential appointment of
an Interim City Administrator; Second by Harold Cochran.

Motion Failed
For the Purpose of:
• Considering a potential appointment of an Interim City Administrator

Motion to deny consideration for the Interim City Administrator brought to the Council
made by Robin Buschman; Second by Richard Steinberg. The motion passed 4-1.

Alphonso Thomas opposed.

• Consideration of waiver of Mayors duty under code section 2.12.035(a):
Recommendation of qualified candidates

Mark Alarcon, Mayor Pro Tem stated that after reading the Resolution he wanted to
bring up several points that he felt were inaccurate: Whereas the Council has rejected
the Mayors initial two recommended candidates for the City Administrators position- the
language there is that the Council had the opportunity to consider two, when in fact Ms.
Cheryl Harrison-Lee withdrew her name and though the City offered Mr. Bruce Sutton
an opportunity to interview, he did not come before the Council, the language there is
inaccurate. Also, the Council has given a couple of Resolutions, One: Resolution for an
Interim stated that the Council was going to support the Mayor to go through GMA to
bring forth candidates which brought us to this point. The resolution before the Council
now is reflective of the Resolution that the Council supported allowing the Mayor to
employee a professional service. The Mayor has now acquired three quotes, which was
determined necessary and the Council would have to employee one of those three to
bring a candidate forward, at that time the Mayor stated he has the skills and expertise
to bring forth his own candidate as well. Mayor Pro Tem Alarcon stated that the Council
just needs some clarification as to what will be done with the Interim.

Mr. Bill Linkous with the City Attorney’s Office stated that the intent of the Resolution
was to allow the Council to waive the requirement that the Mayor bring forth additional
candidates during the time of the executive search process and if the Council chooses
not to do so the Mayor will then bring forth additional candidates as needed.

Richard Steinberg made a motion to deny consideration of waiver; Second by Robin
Buschman. The motion passed 4-1.

Alphonso Thomas opposed.
Motion to adjourn made by Mark Alarcon; Second by Robin Buschman. The motion
passed 5-0.
Meeting Adjourn at 4:45pm.

Respectfully submitted by:

Nicol Vasquez, City Clerk Lee Stuart, Mayor
