. . . Elk River City Council Minutes March 1, 1993 Page 5 discussion and it was the consensus that this was a good time to review the reorganization concept. Councilmember Holmgren stated that he supports the need for a City Planner. He indicated that Planning Commission members also felt this was a good time for a City Planner. Mayor Duitsman stated that he did not feel the City should be looking at any type of super department head or director position like a Community Development Director at this time. The City Administrator questioned who the Council would prefer that the Planner report to, himself or the Building and Zoning Administrator. Steve Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator, stated that he sees the reorganization and hiring of a planner as a demotion for himself.

After further discussion, Mayor Duitsman suggested that the Council postpone a decision on this matter until the City Administrator can present the Council with more information on a planning position. 7.1.
