SUB J: Interview Questions, Commission Candidates
The commission has voiced their displeasure with the existing interview questions for
commission candidates. A copy of the existing questions and some notes ti'om Commissioner
Berg are attached. Also attached are the questions used by the Planning Commission.
With the light agenda and interviews upcoming, I thought this would be an item which could be
resolved.
