Unable to fulfill duties with the current level of staffing, the planning department is asking the council to once again hire three planners from Civic Solutions Inc. for $130,000.

The contract is for three months. The contract employees will assist city planners with processing planchecks, as well as administrative and discretionary planning applications.
