Martinsville adopts city planner job description as officials weigh replacement options
Summary
The Board approved a full‑time, exempt city planner job description Jan. 12 while discussing whether to hire a planner or a compliance officer to replace retired staff; the draft lists a pay scale entry of '75' but the transcript does not clarify units.
The Martinsville Board of Works and Safety on Jan. 12 approved a new job description for a full‑time, exempt city planner position as the city considers how to fill a vacancy left by Gary Oaks.
Brandy presented the draft job description and told board members it is a new position the city will use to provide planning services; she said the city hopes to find a candidate with both planning and compliance experience so the role could cover both functions. Board members noted the council was briefed that only one of two positions (city planner or compliance officer) would be hired to fill the vacancy.
During questions, a board member asked whether a pay scale had been established; Brandy said the draft indicated "75" for salary but did not provide additional context in the meeting transcript about units (e.g., $75,000) or an exact salary range. The board asked staff to pursue candidates with qualifications that could meet both planning and compliance needs.
The board moved, seconded and approved the city planner job description as presented.
Next steps were not specified in detail at the meeting; the transcript records approval of the job description but does not specify when recruitment or final salary determination will occur.
