Page 4 of 8 December 12, 2002 City Council Minutes Ms. Arp asked what Ms. Bertram would like to accomplish. Ms. Bertram said she would like to work on affordable housing and a convention center to help the 'shoulder seasons'. She would like to see the LOT pass and wants to see the Southern and Northern corridors connected with sidewalks and other amenities. Ms. Arp also asked Ms. Bertram what she felt her greatest contribution would be to the City. Ms. Bertram said she is a people person and repeated that she is accessible. She is level headed, enjoys problem solving, and researching things. She believes that it's important for the community to have input. Christie Gorsline said she would like to participate because she loves McCall. She moved to McCall in 2000 and would like to retire here. Ms. Gorsline explained that she has always participated wherever she lives. She has never been involved in politics before, but has been on committees. Ms. Arp asked Ms. Gorsline what she would like to accomplish. Ms. Gorsline said more jobs are needed along with a shorter 'shoulder season'. She believes that things other than a convention center can bring tourists to McCall. Ms. Gorsline said McCall is not in the Statesman often enough to attract tourists. The City needs the LOT and the community needs to understand the minor impact it would have on each of them. Ms. Gorsline said she would also like to help make the City Council's image a good one. She does not come with preset agendas and has the ability to research things because she is an experienced journalist. Ms. Arp asked Ms. Gorsline what she felt her greatest contribution would be to the City. Ms. Gorsline said she is a decision maker and team player. Ms. Arp asked if Ms. Gorsline was interested in running for the position in November. Ms. Gorsline said yes. Jerry Greer explained that he was a school board member and would like to be on the council because he can help. He spent 30 year in government jobs (primarily Forest Service) and was elected to serve on the school board twice. Mr. Greer's said the primary concern should be how the person filling the vacant Council seat will work with Council. Mr. Greer is a team player and can continue to have a sound relationship even if there is a disagreement. He also mentioned that he would come to the Council meetings informed and ready to discuss the topics. He does not have a hidden agenda. Mr. Greer is simply interested in helping guide the City. He is in favor of the LOT and supports the school district's efforts. He does not guarantee results, but will guarantee effort. Mr. Muller asked how he feels about City government and businesses co -existing and what role Council should take. Mr. Greer said it is important for the City and businesses to work together. He would try to facilitate this as a Council member. Page 5 of 8 December 12, 2002 City Council Minutes Ms. Arp asked if Mr. Greer was interested in running for the position in November. Mr. Greer said yes. Ms. Arp asked Mr. Greer what he felt her greatest contribution would be to the City. Mr. Greer said it's important that the City proceed with what it has already started, which is the Comp Plan. Ms. Arp asked Mr. Greer what he would like to accomplish. Mr. Greer said the answer was the same as the preceding question. Rand Walker said he was raised and educated in McCall. He has worked in McCall for 24 years as a business owner/manager. Mr. Walker is a people person, which is difficult when you work in a gravel pit. He has construction and Planning and Zoning experience. Mr. Walker decided to apply for the vacancy because it's the first time in years that his family does not have anything the City wants. He feels it is okay to disagree. Mr. Walker said he was interested in running for the position in November. Ms. Arp asked Mr. Walker what he would like to accomplish. He said jobs are needed. McCall is a retirement community without jobs. The school population has continued to decline. It's hard to live in McCall and be in business. Mr. Walker is encouraged to see Council looking at a convention center and the old forest service building is looking alive. Mr. Muller asked how he feels about City government and businesses co -existing and what role Council should take. Mr. Walker said there are laws on the books. It's up to the City how they are interpreted and enforced. He's happy that the City wrote guideline for employees. Mr. Colton said Council would be holding a meeting on December 16th to discuss the candidates and hopefully make a decision on the vacancy.
