Discussion about soliciting applications for the positions of City Clerk, City Treasurer, and Zoning Administrator. The consensus was that we were not ready to post the ZA position at this time. The Acting City Clerk will send council members copies of recent position descriptions and duties, and these will be considered at council’s next meeting. d. Handling of building permit applications. To reduce work on the current Deputy Zoning Administrator, we will explore having members of the Plan Commission and Architectural Review Board do preliminary reviews of permit applications. A flow chart of how applications should be handled will be jointly developed by these two groups to guide the process of initial review and, if needed, sending to relevant committees for necessary approval and review. e. Upcoming tasks. Bland will make sure the upcoming Board of Review process proceeds as required, and Fizell will talk with council members individually to fill out their committee assignments and to fill empty citizen-held seats. Motion to adjourn — MSC(Carrier/Fizell) Meeting adjourned at 8:20 am. Bill Bland Secretary
