RE: Approval to create, post & fill two (2) Planning Specialist positions
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
The Planning Commission requests approval to create, post, and fill two Planning Specialist positions in the department.
BACKGROUND:
GCMPC carries out federal programming to directly assist communities with infrastructure improvements, community amenity improvements, and direct programming for residents. These programs require training and experience in a variety of areas to ensure proper compliance with federal funds. We currently have two experienced Planners who are responsible for Community Development Block Grant and American Rescue Plan Act program and project oversight.
DISCUSSION:
We are requesting approval to create two Planning Specialist positions to provide promotional opportunities for experienced and qualified current employees. With the creation of these positions, we will eliminate two Planner positions. The creation of these positions will help keep experienced employees and provide continuity in programming. Both positions are 100% grant funded.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
Posting and filling the positions.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
The positions are funded by federal grant funding. A budget amendment is attached. There will be no impact on the general fund.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
There will be no impact on facilities.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
No additional impact.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
This request conforms to the county goals of Healthy, Livable, and Safe Communities and Community Growth. These positions assist in coordinating community projects with local units of government and provide important oversight and compliance for federally funded program activities to ensure proper expenditure of funds.
