Committee debates scope, civil-engineering preference in planning/building director draft
Summary
Staff presented an updated director of planning/building job description that adds executive leadership language and a preference for project-management and civil engineering skills; committee members urged clearer title consistency, moved desirable qualifications out of minimum requirements, and asked for added metrics and education sections.
Staff member (S4) presented a new draft job description that incorporated work from Evergreen and included language favoring executive leadership, project-management skills and a civil-engineering background "not a civil engineering job" but helpful, the staff member said. Committee members pressed for consistency in the job title (director of building vs. director of building, planning and zoning) and asked that civil-engineering be listed as a desirable rather than minimum requirement so it does not deter applicants.
Committee member (S3) recommended adding more specific duties tied to the comprehensive plan and clarifying short-term rental duties to coordinate with code enforcement and police; S3 also suggested moving certifications and education into a separate, clearly labeled section. Chair (S1) and staff agreed to have the recruitment firm Find Great People review the draft, add minimum-education and dimension metrics (supervisory scope, revenue responsibilities), and return a revised job description at the next meeting for final review.
