previously applied but who had not been appointed, as well as to accept new applications if
any have been received. Staff determine the eligibility of all applicants and once their
eligibility is confirmed, their names are put forward for consideration. If there are more
applications than vacancies, the applications are forwarded to the Nominating Committee
to make a recommendation for Council’s decision. If there are not, the Director of Legislated
Services/City Clerk makes a recommendation directly to Council.
