As Rob noted, former downtown business owner Joan Machlis was appointed to the council last night. Here a video of her interview.
And the movie of their final decision I thought Joan did a good job in her interview, I was glad she talked more about why she feels neighborhood gathering places are an important part of a great city. In appointing her, the council had various good things to say about her. Joe Hyer (I'm paraphrasing here a bit): There were a lot of good applicants, she was right person at the right time. Jeff Kingsbury:I liked how she talked about community and gathering places (me too). Rhenda Strub: Her strengths balance out my weaknesses, and anyone of them would have made a good addition. Here are videos of all of the other interviews: Here is all the other material on the appointment process here at OB.
