The Councilmembers will have until Friday, January 17, 2025 to indicate which applicants they are interested in interviewing. Those applicants receiving four or more indications of interest will be invited to the Council meeting of January 28, 2025 to be interviewed as a panel in front of the Council. Please note: Councilmember votes of interest for applicants are exempt from disclosure because they reveal the deliberations of government officials [Deliberative Process [California Government Code § 6255]]. The Charter requires a simple majority to appoint, but Council may impose a higher requirement.
