Eleven are appointed by the city council and the mayor, and seven members are at large who serve as alternates attending meetings in the absence of a district representative. Each member serves a two-year term. The office of the city clerk opened applications on March 3rd, 2025, which is 90 days prior to the expiration of the current term. The communications and engagement department released a web and social media posting on June 12th of this year. By closing date of July 31st, 2026, we received a total of 13 applications. The city attorney office vetted 13 applications, and 13 were eligible. The committee will interview those applicants today and make a recommendation to the full city council. City Council will vote on the full board appointments during an A session. After the vote, the city clerk will notify the appointed individuals and ask them to complete the proper forms. Administer the oath of office and invite them to complete the municipal leadership institute training. Once these steps are completed, they can be seated on the board. On this slide is the list of individuals scheduled for interviews today. Two members are seeking reappointments. Oh well, he has not arrived and did not provide a written statement. And Mr. Cooper Hooper withdrew his application. The process today will begin with each applicant providing a two-minute opening statement for any applicants who are unable to attend a written statement has been included in your packet.
