Commission members reported progress screening applicants for the conservation/land‑use agent position. Staff said they received 15 resumes and have begun interviews; commissioners emphasized the need for candidates who can provide longevity and institutional knowledge rather than using the role as a short‑term stepping stone. One commissioner noted Justin left an eight‑page SOP that can support onboarding.

Members discussed posting venues (Indeed, LinkedIn, MACC) and the need to emphasize the job’s conservation emphasis while keeping some planning duties. They agreed to set up a shared folder (OneDrive/Dropbox) to circulate resumes and a comment matrix so commissioners can provide feedback before selecting finalists.
