2. DISCUSSION AND ACTION REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES TO BOE BOARD MEMBER
SELECTION PROCESS (TO PERMIT A PANEL OF ONE BOE MEMBER, ONE CHARTER REVIEW
COMMISSION MEMBER, AND ONE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION MEMBER TO INTERVIEW AND
RECOMMENDED APPLICANTS)
Silva explained that the Mayor and City Clerk were in the process of updating the municipal code regarding
boards and commissions. With regard to the BOE interview panel, they proposed having a panel of one
BOE member, one Charter Review Commission ("CRC') member, and one Civil Service Commission
("CSC') commissioner. The rationale for the proposal was that by having three members in the interview
pane rather than two, unanimity would not be required. Also, the CSC member would have HR experience.

the City's bargaining units, two are directly selected by the City, and the fifth commissioner is chosen from

selected to serve on the BOE interview panel All BOE members present, via consensus, supported the
