The council had no other modifications. 10.4 Request by Pete Rohlf to Purchase City -Owned Land at 75-432-0101 Mr. I,eeseberg presented the staff report and provided additional handouts.

Portner presented the staff report. He provided organizational handouts outlining the current department structure and proposed changes. He proposed modifying the park planner/planner position and change its title to a senior planner position with the same pay grade, providing assistance to the parks department as needed. He proposed maintaining the planner I position, and adding back the planning manager in lieu of the deputy community operations and development director. He suggested an internal appointment or promotion for this position in the near future. Mr. Portner proposed that the economic development director report directly to the city administrator. He stated the senior administrative assistant, who holds an extremely large amount of history of the department, will be retiring in approximately 2 years and proposed adding a position to function as an efficiency manager, providing support between planning and economic development staff to facilitate with the retirement transition and future development growth.
