Council makes professional engineering license a preference, not requirement, for DPW director

Council considered a substitute resolution (item 12f) that revised the minimum qualifications and application questions for the director of Public Works. The substitute, moved by Councilman Lofredo, revised language that had previously been framed as requiring a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a professional engineering license. Under the approved substitute, a professional engineering license is described as "preferred" (not mandatory), and the application will include three specific questions about a candidate's licensure status and steps toward licensure.
