City administrator search posted; Safe Streets planning and grant work to continue

City staff updated the council on recruitment, grant work and upcoming planning efforts at the June 9 meeting.

Mr. Green said the city would finalize a revised job description and post a nationwide recruitment for the city-administrator position and the community development director; he expected the administrator selection process could stretch into September depending on interview rounds and candidate availability. "My plan is to be here through the budget process at the end of August," Green said, indicating an intent to remain through key budget work.

Staff also announced the first meeting on the Safe Streets for All plan and reported a planning grant (CCCFF) with consultant JEO to develop concepts — a planning grant, not implementation funding — for improved use of the community room at city hall. Green reminded council of a June 30 budget workshop starting at 5:30 p.m. and readied the meeting for a scheduled executive session on potential litigation.
