communities update their Comprehensive Plan by the end of the year. A <br />number of communities have already asked for an extension to this end of <br />the year requirement and, essentially, what this means to Jim and me that <br />the planners are too busy to even be looking for another position. Combine <br />this work assignment with the development activity in growing communities <br />and it seems like you have very few candidates in the market at this time. <br />Jim and I both think that the market will be better after the first of the year <br />and, besides, the market is usually better in the winter. Accordingly, ff the <br />committee cannot make a recommendation to the Council from the current <br />applicants which we have interviewed, then I believe my recommendation <br />will be to stop the selection process, carry on with business the way we have <br />in the past two months since Steve Ach has left, and restart the hiring <br />process after the first of the year with the possible hiring of Jim Brimeyer to <br />help in the recruitment and selection process. <br /> <br />No action is being requested with this agenda item, but it is important to <br />keep the Council updated as to how things are going in the selection process. <br />Both Daryl and I will be in attendance at this Council meeting to answer <br />questions you may have on the applicants or the selection process. <br /> <br /> <br />
