Ms. Wooten moved to interview Mr. McCoy, Mr. Genasci, and Mr. Neustadter for the Downtown Commission. The motion was not seconded and she withdrew it. Ms. Schue pointed out the three incumbents had received the most votes and the other two candidates had recently been interviewed by the Council. She suggested the Council appoint the incumbents. Mayor Keller wished the Council had a policy about reappointing incumbents. The decision to reappoint could be made before the positions are advertised. He felt it is unfair to advertise for candidates and then reappoint the incumbents. Mr. Hansen did not want to reappoint incumbents automatically. Mr. Holmer felt incumbents sahould be interviewed and compared with new applicants. Mr. Obie was undecided about the reappointments and wanted to interview the incumbents. He pointed out Mr. Holmer and Mr. Hansen, as well as Ms. Erhman and Ms. Bascom, had not interviewed the incumbents. e Ms. Wooten moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to interview MINUTES--Eugene City Council November 19, 1984 Page 6
