A New Planning Director
|
|
We picked our candidate, they accepted our offer and gave a start date of July 1. Dave Wechner, the current planning director of Josephine County, Oregon is not afraid of a challenge.
He comes to us with both private and public sector experience which we saw as a big advantage for providing the best service to the people of Island County. We felt his director experience in planning for a similarly landscaped and sized county would cause his transitioning to be nearly effortless.
Having worked in WA in the past, he showed genuine knowledge of our state's laws as well as a general aptitude of code jargon, interpretations and opportunities. He came with grand references from his workmates, some even noting they will miss him.
The decision to choose Dave was an extremely cordial unanimous one. I believe he will show great respect and understanding for our citizens who are often unfamiliar with the government processes.
