Title
Authorization for New Planner Position (10 minutes)
Aaron Cain, LPA Staff
Narrative
For several years the administrative duties for the MPO have been performed by either part-time employees or temporary staff obtained through an agency. Due to the current job market, as well as additional planning staffing needs, the MPO requests authorization for an additional full-time (FTE) planner to conduct these duties. The staff recommendation is for this FTE to be an entry-level planner position.
There are sufficient funds within the MPO’s budget to accommodate the requested FTE. No additional local match from our contributing local jurisdictions will be required to fulfill the request.
The attached memo provides further justification for the request.
Recommendation
TC Action: Recommended, on a 26-1 vote, that the Board authorize MPO staff to initiate the process to add an additional FTE for a Planner position.
Board Action
