BACKGROUND
With the upcoming retirement of the Development Services Director, the City will be partnering with an outside recruiter to fill this critical position. As part of the recruitment process, City staff reviewed the existing job description for the Development Services Director and updated it to accurately reflect current duties and the needs of the Development Services Department.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
City staff conducted a thorough review of the job description for the Development Services Director. The updated description more clearly outlines the duties and responsibilities of the position, with an added emphasis on economic development. This classification continues to oversee all Development Services departmental functions, including planning, building, housing, code compliance, accessibility, and permit center operations.
A key update includes added duties related to economic development, such as promoting local growth, supporting business attraction efforts, and building strong partnerships with businesses, government agencies, and community members. These revisions will support the upcoming recruitment by ensuring the City attracts candidates who are well suited to oversee all aspects of Development Services and help lead key economic development initiatives.
In accordance with the City’s Personnel Rules, Rule IV. Position Classification, the City Council upon recommendation from staff may revise the Classification Plan to create new or update existing classifications as needed. City Council must then formally adopt any updates to the job description. There is no financial impact associated with updating the job description for the Development Services Director. This is an administrative update intended to align the position’s duties with current organizational needs and support the recruitment process.
