The community develop- ment department will con- tinue to process land use applications and permits with Nicole Mardell, senior plan- ner undertaking the burden of the work with support from Cory Misley and City legal counsel. Misley told The Nugget that he hopes to have a job offering out in a couple of weeks, but he does not expect a new community develop- ment director to be in place for a while.
