Their names are not yet being released, but City Manager Brett Estes announced a public meet- and-greet event at Clatsop Community College next week. The event will give people a chance to meet the candidates, hear more about their experiences and back- grounds and ask questions. The event, held at Columbia Hall, room 219 at 1651 Lexington Ave. , will begin at 5:30 p.m. on May 8 . Comment cards will be provided so people can share their initial impres- sion of the candidates they speak with at the event. Estes held a similar event February 2018 when he had two candidates lined up for the job. Ultimately, neither candidate was offered the position. Estes has served as interim community devel- opment director in addi- tion to his role as city man- ager since former director Kevin Cronin left in 2017. He brought on former city planners Rosemary John- son and Mike Morgan as consultants to help with projects in the Community Development Department. Morgan brieﬂ y served as interim community devel- opment director. Estes posted the job sev- eral times since Cronin left. While Estes has been able to get a list of candidates, he has not succeeded yet in ﬁ nding a replacement . This year, Estes brought on Prothman, a consult- ing ﬁ rm that specializes in recruitment services across the nation, to post the posi- tion and recruit candidates. Over the last two years, the department has been asked to take on large, time-intensive projects, including the creation of codes to guide develop- ment along a portion of the Astoria riverfront. Some projects have had to go on the back burner to accommodate more press- ing priorities, Estes said. City Planner Nancy Ferber, hired during Cronin’s ten- ure, left for another job this spring. The community devel- opment director oversees a number of issues, including development review, code enforcement and urban renewal.
