Mr. Philip Maguire:

We would issue a public advertisement, in addition to local canvassing of organisations in the area seeking expressions of interest. Before that, it would be up to the council to draw up a set of criteria for selection. A sub-group would then be established to go through the applications, and we might wish to meet applicants to see what they have to say. We would then draft a provisional recommendation to be considered by the area committees and the SPC, with the proposal finally going to city council for decision. As it would be a committee of the city council, the function of appointing its members is a reserved function of the council.
