What do you do when your county administrator, transportation director, police chief, community development director, and human resources manager positions are all vacant?
"Some people in the county have expressed concern over not having a community development director, considering the drafting of the Comprehensive Plan as well as the current rezoning of the downtown area.
...Mortillaro said the county was close to having a community development director ... and had whittled down the list of applicants to two. 'They declined the offer and said they weren't interested any more,' he said."
