Resident urges Blue Ridge to hire a city administrator and form planning and zoning committee
Summary
During public comment a resident told the council Blue Ridge is growing and urged hiring a city administrator (possibly via an employment agency to vet candidates) and forming a planning and zoning committee for development oversight.
During the public-comment period a resident urged the Blue Ridge City Council to begin recruiting a city administrator and to establish a planning and zoning committee to provide broader oversight of development and contracts. The commenter said the city is "growing like crazy" as nearby Princeton expands and several subdivisions are planned, and argued that an administrator should be vetted by a professional firm so the council receives a short list of qualified candidates.
The speaker also raised housekeeping concerns about access to systems after the city secretary's retirement (keys and login codes) and urged caution about signing major contracts before an administrator is in place. The council thanked the speaker and noted the concerns would be taken into account when scheduling future personnel discussion.
