Mounds View City Council Page Seven <br /> 0 Regular Meeting June 13 , 1994 <br /> the job description is what guides the position. Orduno stated that <br /> this is an entry level planning position. <br /> Councilmember Trude stated again that this could be a means for <br /> moving this person up the planning hierarchy. <br /> Orduno explained that in a large organization a person would be <br /> hired to perform one job, but in a small organization Ms. Pruitt <br /> will be doing more than one job. Orduno further explained <br /> that in the winter Ms. Pruitt would be working more on planning. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that the job duties mean more than the title. <br /> Unknown resident asked if the Code Enforcement Officer would be <br /> writing letters or driving out. <br /> Orduno stated that the Code Enforcement Officer would not be <br /> just reacting to complaints, but would also be looking for <br /> areas of concern which will be a more proactive role. . <br /> Mayor Linke explained that in the past the Code Enforcement Officer <br /> had to write letters because there was not enough staff to respond <br /> to the number of calls received. <br /> 411 An unknown resident asked if it would take six months to take <br /> action on some of the concerns. <br /> Mayor Linke explained that it took two years on one particular <br /> area because of State and Federal laws. <br /> Councilmember Quick stated that he felt confident that staff would <br /> keep the Planning Associate focused on the fact that the main <br /> charge of the position would be code enforcement. <br /> Councilmember Trude stated moved to amend the resolution to add Code <br /> Enforcement Office__in__the—title_and that this would__be an entry <br /> level position. Councilmember Trude noted that there is a great <br /> deal of work going on in planning and that the planning department <br /> is overworked and overloaded and it would be too easy for this <br /> position to get lost in the planning rather than code enforcement. <br /> Councilmember Blanchard seconded motion and stated the title could <br /> read Code Enforcement Officer/Planning Associate. <br /> Councilmember Trude accepted the second and revision to the title <br /> as a friendly amendment. Trude further stated that the need for <br /> this position was identified to the public as a Code Enforcement <br /> Officer and that the duties were so great that a full time person <br /> was needed. Councilmember Trude stated concerns that if the job is <br /> 411 called Planning Associate that the priorities of code enforcement <br /> may be lost. <br />
