Council directs transition of city planner to contract role, prioritizes economic-development contractor hire
Summary
The governing body directed the city manager and city attorney to develop a plan to convert the city planner from full-time to a contract position by April 1, 2026, and prioritized filling an economic development contract role in the first quarter of 2026.
As part of the personnel-and-budget motion the chair included staffing-direction language to change the city planner position from a full-time employee to a contract role. The motion directed the city manager to work with the city attorney on a transition plan and set a target date of April 1, 2026 for completion.
The motion also prioritized filling an economic development contract position during the first quarter of 2026. City manager discussion during the report confirmed the budgetary treatment would move the position from a full-time line to a contract line "just like it was before," indicating the change reflects a return to prior practice rather than an entirely new role.
