City names new planning director and deputy city manager; comprehensive-plan hearing set for Oct. 7
Summary
City staff told commissioners that David Bookless is the new deputy city manager and John Wagner is the new director of planning; the comprehensive-plan hearing was scheduled for Oct. 7 and staff urged commissioners to RSVP for a boards-and-commissions meeting.
Speaker 2 provided a city update announcing two staffing changes and upcoming public hearings: David Bookless is the new deputy city manager and John Wagner is the new director of planning. Speaker 2 encouraged commissioners to contact either of them with planning concerns.
Speaker 2 also said a comprehensive-plan hearing is scheduled for Oct. 7. The city recently conducted a SS4A grant-funded walkability audit in which city, state, and county staff reviewed conditions through the Crossroads business district and identified planter accessibility as a recurring issue.
Speaker 2 urged commissioners to RSVP promptly for meetings because contracted staff (Fran) is over capacity; the speaker reminded the group that meetings will be canceled without a quorum if 48-hour notice is not met. The boards-and-commissions chair/vice meeting is scheduled on Monday at noon and commissioners were encouraged to attend.
The city update concluded with an agreement to circulate written materials and staff follow-up on audit feedback and accessibility concerns raised during the walk audit.
