NEW BUSINESS
1. Planning Commission Interviews
Council discussed the questions prior to interviewing the candidates. The following questions were
asked of each applicant:
1. Looking at how Maplewood has developed, what has been done well? What do you think
could have been done better? What do you see as important to be addressed in the future
(near or far)?
2. What do you feel you can bring to this group-interests, talents, life experience, etc.?
3. At times we have controversial items with a variety of opinions and sometimes outright
hostility being expressed. Would you be able to make a decision based on what is best for the
city overall which may or may not be what the neighbors want?
4. As you know, the commission's role is advisory to the council, which makes the final
decision. Can you be comfortable with this role? Please explain.
5. All of our regular meetings are televised and rerun, do you think you will have any
problem expressing your opinions with the camera's eye on you?
6. Do you foresee any problem with attendance at regularly scheduled meetings? At city
council meetings? Would you have any difficulties with meetings that might go later
than 10:00 p.m.?
