City to seek resolution for MSA planning-services agreement to cover vacancies
Summary
Staff warned of upcoming vacancies in the planning department and said a professional‑services agreement with MSA would keep essential permitting, subdivision and annexation work moving; council questions were limited and no vote was recorded.
Planning staff told council on Jan. 7 that several upcoming vacancies in the planning department will require temporary assistance to keep projects moving, and the city will ask council to consider a resolution approving a professional‑services agreement with MSA Professional Services.
Staff said MSA would support subdivision approvals, annexations, permit review and ongoing projects such as the parking committee work while the city fills vacancies. Nicole (planning staff) will manage contracted work. Council asked clarifying questions and staff said the arrangement is intended to ensure timeliness of development work and continuity of service.
