As a result of this evaluation, the Council approved the creation of the position of Planning Associate at the April 25, 1994 regular meeting. The primary responsibility of this position will be to enforce City ordinances, but also to assist the Community Development Coordinator with daily planning functions. An advertisement was placed in the May 1st Sunday papers and drew a response from over 40 candidates. The successful candidate was required to have at least a bachelors degree in planning or related field, 1 year of municipal experience related to planning, and possess a state driver's license.
