I didn't mean to update the post from this morning so quickly, but I missed this notice that the city council will be holding a special meeting on Wednesday to talk about a process I thought was already set (big hat tip to No Talking Heads).

Looks like they want to toss the salad a bit, maybe add an applicant open house on the front end.

The way I look at it, we have five months and two elections to choose these people in most cases, but less than a month and a somewhat closed door process to choose them this time. Anything the city council wants to do to make this a more open process is fine with me.

Here's the staff memo on the meeting on Wednesday.

By the way, the results so far on the Olyblog poll has Westbrook with 4 votes, both Reddick and Tousley at 1 each. Go here to vote.
