DATE OF WORK SESSION: January 21, 2009
TO: Springfield Committee for Citizen Involvement
FROM: Molly Markarian, Planner II
SUBJECT: Glenwood Citizen Advisory Committee Appointments
ISSUE: Ten citizens have applied for the four remaining vacant positions on the Citizen Advisory
Committee for the Glenwood Refinement Plan Update Project.
DISCUSSION: During the October 7, 2008 work session, the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI)
reviewed and approved the Citizen Involvement Plan for the Glenwood Refinement Plan Update
Project. The Plan included staff’s recommended categories of participants for the Citizen Advisory
Committee (CAC). The committee’s purpose is to provide input, feedback, and guidance to staff, and
to forward recommendations to the Planning Commission.
During the November 18, 2008 work session, the CCI appointed fifteen members to the CAC. At that
time, the CCI also directed staff to conduct focused recruitment to fill the remaining four open positions
on the CAC in the categories of affordable housing advocate, Glenwood employee, and lender/realtor.
Following the November 18, 2008 work session, the Register Guard published an article on November
27, 2008 regarding the status of the Citizen Advisory Committee. In addition, Staff contacted affordable
housing providers who have developed property in Springfield to inform them of the vacant affordable
housing advocate position on the committee. Staff also contacted citizens who had previously
expressed interest in the committee but had not submitted applications.
Ten applications have been received as of the date of this memorandum for the remaining vacancies
on the CAC. Two candidates applied for the one vacant affordable housing advocate position, two
candidates applied for the two vacant Glenwood employee positions, and five candidates applied for
the one vacant realtor/lender position. A Glenwood resident also submitted an application. Upon
reviewing these applications, staff has proposed that the candidates listed in Attachment 1 be
appointed to the CAC vacancies. In addition, staff proposes that the CCI consider creating an
additional Glenwood Resident position on the CAC and fill that slot with the proposed candidate.
RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests that the CCI review the Glenwood CAC
applications received during the extended recruitment period and select the proposed participants to fill
the four vacant positions on the committee in the categories of affordable housing advocate, Glenwood
employee, and lender/realtor. Staff also requests that the CCI create an additional Glenwood resident
position on the CAC and appoint the proposed candidate to fill that position.
