Dayton City Council approves ILA with Columbia County for Planning Services

 


DAYTON—The Dayton City Council has passed a resolution authorizing Mayor Zac Weatherford to execute an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between Columbia County and the City of Dayton for temporary Planning Department services. This will be on an hourly basis, as needed, and as availability and resources allow.

It is hoped personnel in the County’s Building and Planning Department will step in on a temporary basis to fill the void after the City’s Community Development and Planning Director was terminated from employment by Mayor Zac Weatherford on June 16.

The County’s Planning Manager, Dena Martin, said her department will handle any outstanding projects and provide planning for building permit review and basic land-use projects.

“If more involved, the city can find an outside contractor to handle those projects,” she said.

The County will be compensated sixty-one (61) dollars per hour for services performed under the contract. The city will retain all planning-related fees. The County will collect applicable fees in accordance with the existing City fee schedule and remit the same to the City within seven days of collection. The duration of the contract is for six months and awaits approval by the Board of County Commissioners, which could come about this week.
