Orduno stated that Paul is far superior <br />to the other City Planners that the City has employed. Orduno stated that <br />many things fell through the cracks. Paul's expertise is such that he has <br />been involved in tax increment and development agreements since he began <br />employment with the City. Paul is doing duties far beyond those of a <br />Planning Technician. Paul is also primary liaison to the Planning <br />Commission. Planning Technicians do not do this job nor do they get <br />involved with TIF or development agreements. Planning Technicians that have <br />been with the City in the past have not been involved to the degree that <br />Paul has. <br />r~ <br />
