DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Two candidates applied for the openings, Ralene Linneman and Mary Beth Phelps, and were interviewed by the Board on November 27, 2017. The Board
recommended that the Council interview Ms. Linneman to complete the term
vacated by Ms. Sattler which would run until December 31, 2019, and to interview Ms. Phelps for the four year term ending December 31, 2021.
At the November 27, 2017 work session, the two candidates were interviewed by Council. The Council consensus was to move forward with the formal
appointments of Ms. Linneman and Ms. Phelps during the December 4, 2017 regular meeting.
