Meet the Team

The City Manager has assembled a broad-based and cross-functional team that will share in the responsibility of drafting a revised code. The three-part team structure consists of: the Leadership Team, the Core Team, and Auxiliary Team.

Leadership Team

In addition to their individual roles, members of the Leadership Team will work collaboratively to set direction on code development and implementation. Leadership Team members will also approve the City staff recommended draft of the Land Development Code Revision. They serve as liaisons between the Core Team and members of the City Council and Planning Commission.
