Council hears plan for shared project manager to handle capital projects and IGSAs
Summary
Staff proposed a project manager position to oversee the city's capital improvement projects (82+ projects) and intergovernmental service agreements with nearby military bases; the role would be cross‑funded across departments and is intended to improve efficiency and revenue capture from IGSA work.
Staff described a project manager position to be administratively assigned within the city engineer's division and shared across departments to manage construction, housing redevelopment builds, and IGSA work with Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. Agency official (speaker 12) said the city currently has more than 82 capital projects in the adopted CIP and that the job would centralize construction oversight to reduce delays and rework.
Council members raised questions about how the role would interact with existing department directors and how time would be scheduled across functions; speaker 12 explained the position would be scheduled (for example, 30% Neighborhood Improvement Services allocation) and that funding would be split among benefiting funds (water/wastewater, NIS, economic impact fund). Staff suggested increased IGSA activity could generate revenue to help fund the position.
