Re: Creation of an Additional Position (Planner II) within the Division of Planning
By: David L. Harding, Director of Human Resources/Procurement
Attached for your consideration, please find Ordinance No. 91-01 authorizing the creation of an
additional "Planner II" position within the Division of Planning.
As you are aware, Mr. Kyle Ezell, Planner II, resigned in July 2001, creating a vacancy within the
Plamler II classification. At that time, the City immediately began a recruitment process to fill Mr.
Ezell's vacancy. During this same time period, a recruitment process was underway to fill the Planner
I vacancy created by Ms. Holly Susong's resignation in Apri12001.
Throughout the recruitment process for both Planner positions, the City has received applications and
interviewed a number ofwell-qualified candidates, a pleasant change from previous processes. Based
upon the number and quality of these candidates, a discussion ensued about the possibility of increasing
the staffing level to meet the goals and timetables established by Council for the Division of Planning.
While this could have been addressed in the budget process for next year, such a lengthy process would
certainly wane the interest of these well-qualified candidates. In addition, I did not want to presume
that City Council would indeed approve the additional position in the next budget process, thus further
"stringing along" these candidates.
In order to meet the goals of the Division of Planning, I am recommending the creation of an additional
Planner II position. In addition, I am requesting that, should this be approved, the Ordinance be passed
by emergency so that the City will not lose these qualified candidates because of a lengthy process.
Should you have any questions/concerns regarding this matter, I will be in attendance at the Council
meeting on Monday, July 23, 2001 and I will be happy to address any issues.
