To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members /
From: Ryan R. Schroeder, City Administrator
Date: August 30, 2011
Subject: Staffing Update
On June 1, 2011 Danette Parr started employment with the City of Cottage Grove as the
Economic Development Director with supervisory responsibilities for the Community
Development staff (including planning, inspections, code enforcement and historic
preservation). As of Monday, August 29, 2011 those responsibilities have changed such that
supervisory responsibilities for Community Development were eliminated from her scope of
responsibility (at her request) in order to allow for dedication of more time toward Development
outreach and retention. Finance Director Robin Roland is taking over CD supervision during
an undefined interim period.
The Council has preliminarily budgeted for an Economic Development Specialist position for
2012. It has been authorized that recruitment for this position occurs at this point to bring this
additional position on board during October, 2011. Since April 2011 Communications
Specialist Ken Smith has been providing the bulk of the required staff support for EDA
responsibilities. It would be anticipated that changes in assignments would occur shortly after
the ED Specialist is on- boarded.
