(CSi)  The Jamestown Finance & Legal Tuesday recommended reformatting a job description to focus on  hiring a GIS Coordinator.

Deputy Auditor Jay Sveum said the city went through the hiring process in November and again in February.  Sveum said it was decided  to look at options, including  dropping the city planner portion of the job and hire a GIS Coordinator.

The  Geographic Information System Coordinator, would be responsible for assisting in planning and zoning related items.

City Assessor Jamieson Veil said the coordinator would  give the city staff another way to work more efficiently on multiple levels.

The Building, Planning, and Zoning Committee recommended approving the preliminary/final plat of Otter Tail Power Addition on property at 3rd Street Southeast near Jamestown Hillcrest Golf Course

The meeting was shown live on CSi Cable 67, followed by replays.
