No Parking Fines on Eclipse Day: Ryan Moehlman reviewed the proposed resolution limiting the enforcement of parking regulations on August 21, 2017. Mr. Moehlman indicated the proposed process was fairly consistent with the process which was previously approved for the Governor’s Inauguration.

Reorganization of Planning Division within the Department of Planning and Protective Services: City Administrator Steve Crowell indicated he was supportive of the staff reclassification proposal submitted by Director of Planning and Protective Services Sonny Sanders. The process requires Council approval of the requested reclassification. Director of Planning and Protective Services Sonny Sanders explained the Planner III position currently overseeing the Planning Division responsibilities would be reclassified to a Planning Manager and be given oversight of both the Planning Division and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) staff and functions. Additionally, the Planner III position which historically has had oversight of the MPO functions and staff, would be reclassified to a Planner I or II position. Director Sonny Sanders provided a handout further explaining the reclassification proposal. Councilmember Fitzwater asked if the reclassification proposal would result in any budgetary savings. Director Sonny Sanders indicated that there may be some minor budgetary savings, but the overall goal of the reclassification was for improved assignment/operational flexibility and management. A motion was made by Councilmember Mark Schreiber and seconded by Councilmember Ward to recommend to the entire Council authorizing a change in the City’s personnel schedule to authorize one position with the title of Planning Manager (grade 20) and an additional Planner I or II (grade 16/17) position and deleting the positions of Planner III (grade 19, two positions). The motion was passed 5-0.
