INTERVIEWS FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS <br /> <br />The council interviewed Ruth Koenig, Mindy Frisbee, Mo Young, Jon Belcher, Linda Hamilton, and Twila <br />Souers for a position on the Human Rights Commission. <br /> <br />Ms. Ortiz greeted each candidate and explained the interview process. At the conclusion of each interview, <br />Ms. Solomon informed the candidate that the council would make its appointments at the October 22, 2007, <br />council meeting. <br /> <br />All candidates for the Human Rights Commission position were asked the following questions: <br /> <br />1. Why should you be chosen to be a Human Rights Commissioner? <br /> <br />2. What is the City government’s role in addressing human rights? <br /> <br />3. What are the most important human rights issues facing the City of Eugene and what are your <br />ideas for addressing those? <br /> <br />4. What do you think are the differences between volunteering for a community human rights group <br />and volunteering for the municipal human rights commission? <br /> <br />5. We recognize that many people apply to serve on the Human Rights Commission because they are <br />passionate for a particular group or a specific issue. It’s important that commissioners have the <br />ability to work on a range of human rights issues. Assess your ability to work with others on is- <br />sues that may not be your top concern. <br /> <br />6. Serving on the commission requires a significant time and energy commitment. Tell us about <br />your ability to balance commission work with other demands in your life. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 6:55 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council October 1, 2007 Page 1 <br /> Boards and Commissions Interviews <br /> <br />
