SUMMARY
At the Council meeting of February 7, 2017 the council, by motion, approved five applications that were
selected by ballot of the councilors at the Study Session of February 6.
The applicants were Traci Darrow, Shaun Moran, Tonya Graham, Gina DuQuenne and Louise Shawkat.
Procedure consensus at the February 7 Study Session:
• Ballots provided with the names of the five applicants,
• Councilors vote for one of the five applicants,
• If one applicant has three votes, voting is complete and applicant is appointed by motion, and
• If no one has three votes, second round of voting is conducted.
The procedure for a second round of voting would have to be established by council at this time, if
needed.
BACKGRC►UND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
City Charter states that a vacant elective office shall be filled within sixty (60) days by the City Council
electing some qualified person to fill the vacancy. The deadline for filling this seat is March 1, 2017.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND REQUESTED ACTION:
City Councilors should confirm that the procedure for conducting the appointment for Position 6 is the
consensus of the council. If no consensus, council will need to determine process in order to make
appointment.
If council chooses to make any changes to the selection of applicants being considered, a motion to
rescind the prior motion would need to be made. Any councilor that voted in favor of the motion at the
February 7 meeting can make this motion.
MOTION
I move that be appointed as City of Ashland Councilor for Position 6 with a
term ending December 31, 2018.
