Summary

Staff told the commission they have one planned hire starting Aug. 11 and another position in second‑interview stage, increasing capacity for preservation work and guideline updates.

Jillian, the commission’s historic‐preservation planner, reported hiring progress and said one planner is scheduled to start Aug. 11 and a second candidate will have second interviews this week. “We have made a hire of a planner who's starting August 11,” staff said, and indicated the new capacity will be shared across current planning, long‑range planning and historical preservation workloads.

Commissioners said filling those positions is a top priority and linked staffing capacity directly to the commission’s ability to undertake guideline updates and manage a backlog of major development reviews.
