Summary

The commission voted unanimously to recommend the Planning Director be provided a full-time administrative assistant, citing increasing workload and prior difficulty filling a part-time position.

Charlevoix County Planning Commission members voted Oct. 2 that the Planning Director needs a full-time administrative assistant to meet the department's workload and the Commission's expectations.

Chairperson Nancy Ferguson raised staffing needs and noted prior efforts that year to fill a part-time administrative position were unsuccessful. Commissioners said an increased workload justifies a full-time administrative assistant to support permitting, agenda preparation and correspondence. Marshal Bakker moved the motion; Nancy Ferguson seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.

The Planning Department will proceed with steps to request the position and document the motion in the meeting record.
