A. BOARDS AND COMISSIONS INTERVIEWS
The City Council interviewed David McLean, David Sohm, John Jaworski, Sara Mason, and Mark Baker
for vacant positions on the Eugene Planning Commission. Each candidate was asked the following
questions:
1. What key issues would you hope to address as a member of the Planning Commission?
2. The Eugene Planning Commission often works on lengthy processes and decisions as a
group. Describe your prior skills and experience that will assist you in working with the
Planning Commission.
3. Please describe how you would contribute to the diversity of views on the Planning
Commission. In what ways would you seek to bring the perspectives of under - represented
members of our community in the land use planning and decision process?
4. The Planning Commission must often consider and balance complex issues when reviewing
planning documents and making land use decisions. As an example, the City is in the process
of determining how to accommodate 34, 000 new residents over the next 20 years. In your
opinion, what are the most important factors for the commission to consider in this effort?
