This final position is Position 7 on the board. <br /> <br />The term of office of the previous holder of Position 7 expired in October 2007. No applications for the <br />position were received during the City’s normal recruiting process that year, and so the Toxics Board <br />directed a special recruitment process. Following that process, which included newspaper advertising, a <br />written application period, and interviews by the board, the board has made a nomination by a 6:0 vote. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />This item relates to Section 54, Article VI (6.1.A) of the Eugene City Charter. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />The council has the option to: <br />1. Appoint the nominee. <br />2. Decline to appoint the nominee and require the Toxics Board to continue recruitment and to nominate <br /> another individual. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends Option 1: appoint the nominee. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M080728\S0807282C.doc <br /> <br />
