Community development director Larry announces retirement as city splits role into planning and economic development positions
Summary
Larry, who identified himself as the city’s community development director, said the city is eliminating his position and will replace it with an economic development director and a planning director; he announced he will retire after 35 years of service.
Larry, the city’s community development director, announced at the commission meeting that the city has chosen to eliminate the community development director position and will replace it with two new positions: an economic development director and a planning director.
“Since the city has eliminated the community development director position, I am forced to retire at the end of 35 years after serving my hometown for 35 years,” Larry said, thanking commissioners and saying it had been his pleasure to work with people with an interest in the community’s future.
Larry framed the announcement as part of a departmental reorganization rather than an immediate personnel decision at the commission level. He asked commissioners to note that this may be his last planning commission meeting this year and expressed gratitude for their service.
Commissioners thanked Larry for his years of service and asked staff to list potential follow-up items for the next commission (including ordinance review items to consider removing the CUP requirement for car washes in certain zones).
