In order to most effectively utilize resources approved for the Department, a minor adjustment to the structure is recommended, without any overall budgetary impacts (adjust individual line items in budget without adding to the department budget). This also addresses a Strategic Plan Initiative to ensure staffing effectiveness and continuity of services through 'three-deep' staffing. The City Planner continues to enhance his education through training and seminars. In addition,the City Planner served an interim role as the lead for the department as a whole during a family leave for the Community Development Director.The City Planner proved to be an effective manager for the Community Development Department, and is believed to be able to be an effective leader for the Planning Division on a longer term basis. The Building Official continues his training in code administration as well as an increase in other training goals, such as customer service and effective leadership.The Building Official is enrolled in the Leadership Academy through Anoka Technical College/Anoka Ramsey Community College.
