At the December 6,2011 City Council meeting,the Council had selected dates for
interviews of applicants for the three City Advisory Boards (Boards)mentioned above.
On December 20,2011,the City Council approved the expansion of the membership of
the FAC from five to seven members;therefore,staff extended the filing deadline for
applications for all three committees to Friday,January 20,2012 at 4:30 P.M.Due to
the extension of the filing deadline,the City Council needs to select new dates to

approximately 3-5 minutes for each interview.Staff has received the following number
of applications for each Board to date:Planning Commission -16;Finance Advisory
Committee -16;and Oversight Committee -10.
