Board considers hiring assistant planning-and-zoning clerk amid heavy workload
Summary
Board members said the planning and zoning departments are stressed by a surge in building activity and discussed posting a deputy/assistant clerk. The board favored using the town email list and internal channels before paying for classified ads.
Board members reported increased building activity in Ancram and said the planning and zoning clerk is on leave, increasing workload. A board member circulated a draft job description for a deputy or assistant planning-and-zoning clerk to provide coverage and help with back filing and in-person office hours.
"We have a lot of building and a lot of things going on in Ankrum," a board member said, noting that the current clerk is on leave and that temporary or permanent assistance would be valuable. Members discussed posting the vacancy first to the town email list (which reaches about 1,200 subscribers) and using classifieds only if necessary because of their cost.
