Council votes to advertise Senior Planner opening after Moses Lake contract ends
Summary
With the City of Moses Lake planning arrangement ending March 21, the City Council directed staff to advertise a Senior Planner position; a motion to accept a contractor proposal from Safe Built failed for lack of a second.
Mayor Peter Sharp told the council that the current planning arrangement with the City of Moses Lake will stop on March 21. Councilmembers discussed two proposals for planner services, including one from Safe Built.
Councilmember Gorman moved to accept the Safe Built contract but there was no second. Instead, a motion to advertise for the Senior Planner position passed (M/Carson, S/Arnold); the minutes record that Councilmember Gorman voted Nay and the motion passed. The council also noted that eight applicants reviewed for the City Administrator/Treasurer position by the finance director were deemed not qualified.
The minutes do not include a timeline for advertising or application deadlines; council members instructed staff to proceed with advertising as presented in the approved job description. The item will return to a future meeting for further action if needed.
