The agenda is
– WELCOME & OVERVIEW OF THE INTERVIEW & SELECTON PROCESS – Council President Samba Baldeh
– DISCUSSION ON SCORING APPLICATIONS & USE OF PIVOT TOOL – Pivot uses Tideman’s Ranked Pairs voting system: https://pivot-libre.github.io/
(NOTE: This tool is being proposed to be used during budget deliberations as well. It’s essentially instant runoff voting if I understand it correctly, its a ranked voting system. It’s funny how much resistance us progressive got about this system 15 years ago and now it seems widely accepted by the council?!?)
