At least five public members shall be 65 years of age or older. Four public members shall serve without restriction as to age.

    Per Resolution 2974, the LEPC serves as a community coalition advising staff on emergency management issues, reviews the emergency response plan for CBJ and functions, when necessary, as the Local Emergency Planning Committee under SARA Title III. The Assembly nominates applicants and final appointments are done by the State Emergency Response Commission.  A memo from Deputy Clerk Cathcart in the HRC packet outlines which LEPC seat is requiring action as well as a recommended motion.

    Per CBJ Code 44.05.060; the Personnel Board is composed of five members appointed by the Assembly. All appointments shall be for staggered three-year terms.

G.STAFF REPORTS

H.STANDING COMMITTIEE TOPICS - for discussion as meeting time allows

  1. 6.Review of Empowered Boards Advanced Interview Questions & CBJ Board Application

    As of  Mid-February the Clerk's Office/CBJ will transition from the current Granicus Board Management Program and online application form to the Board Program hosted by Municode (CBJ's Agenda Management Program).  Right now they are running parallel as we migrate information from one platform to the other, with the exception of the board application which is still hosted by Granicus.

    Staff Request:

    Clerk staff request HRC committee members review the current board application in the HRC packet and recommend any additions or edits they would like to see on the application.  The one caveat is this application is the general application used for all Advisory and Empowered Boards; so thiniking about what information you think is important to see on the application to help during the appointment process would be helpful.  The HRC Committee will still have the advanced interview questions as a tool for the Empowered Boards and Systemic Racism Review Committee (SRRC) to help gather specific attributes an applicant may have as it relates to those boards.
