Summary

Planning staff announced that the City of Talent planner will leave at the end of the month; Rowan will serve as interim planner two days a week and City Manager Pro Tem Alex Campbell attended the meeting.

At the start of the Feb. 25 Planning Commission meeting, a planning staff member announced they will leave the City of Talent; the staff member said their last day is Friday, Feb. 28. The staff member said they preferred to tell commissioners in person rather than by email.

Staff said Rowan will serve as interim planner, tentatively two days per week (Monday and Wednesday), until a new planner is hired. City Manager Pro Tem Alex Campbell attended the meeting and was introduced to the commission.

Why it matters: staff transitions can affect application processing and the timing of code projects; commissioners asked for updated email notifications and confirmed plans for interim coverage.

Ending: Staff said Rowan will be in the office on the announced days and staff will notify commissioners of updates to workload and timing for pending items such as the buildable lands inventory and website updates.
