Councilors request future discussion on structure and need for a community development director
Summary
A councilor asked for a future agenda discussion about reinstating or otherwise reorganizing a community development director position; city manager agreed to prepare a proposal for council consideration.
One councilor requested a future council discussion to reevaluate the city’s organizational structure, specifically whether to restore or otherwise change the community development director position. The councilor said the change would affect workload distribution and future budget planning.
The councilor recalled prior difficulty recruiting a community development director and noted the earlier restructuring that had the city manager supervise community development functions. The councilor asked whether the city manager still viewed that structure as appropriate given workload and capacity concerns.
The city manager said he would prepare a proposal and return it to the council for discussion. Councilors signaled support for placing the item on a future agenda for a fuller review, including potential budget implications and alternatives for staffing the function.
No formal action was taken; the request was placed on the look-ahead list for a future council meeting and staff committed to present options.
