The next item on the agenda was how the six applicants would be narrowed down to three at the July 24, 2006 Regular Council meeting. The six applicants are Lisa Greening, Edward McCarthy, Wayne Munkel, Gloria Nickerson, Lynn Ricci and Cameron Sanders. After discussion, it was decided that each of the six Councilmember would vote on a ballot for the three candidates whom they would like to consider. Ms. Brot, Mr. Sharpe, Jr., and Mr. Glickert preferred to have a second interview with the three chosen applicants, with prepared questions to be asked of each. Mr. Wagner, Mr. Price and Mayor Adams felt that a second interview was not needed and if anyone had a question, they could call the applicant. With the equal split of opinion, and not being able to decide on a mutual date where all could be present, it was decided not to have a second interview. The next agenda item was how to choose the new Ward Two Councilmember at the August 14, 2006 Council meeting. The agenda suggested a weighted ballot vote but Mr. Wagner and Mayor Adams moved to have the Councilmember just indicate there first choice only. The only difference would be that each Councilmember would vote for only one of the three finalists. If an applicant had not received a majority of four, the two applicants with the most votes would be voted on in the next ballot. It was acknowledged that it could be possible that each of the three finalists could receive two votes and no one would receive a majority. Likewise the vote could be a tie at three to three again no one having the majority of four. Mayor Adams said that discussion would then take place with the Councilmembers and a new vote would take place until one candidate would have a majority of four votes. (Such a situation, according to the Charter would mandate a special election for the public to choose a replacement candidate.) The Special session was adjourned at 6:30 p.m. Joyce Pumm City Clerk
