Assignments may be made in the broad areas of land use, transportation, economic development, housing, community revitalization, public facilities, environmental management, and master planning for the Downtown/Riverfront area, as well as, other specific areas and planning studies. Major responsibilities include assisting higher level professional planners in reviewing development plans, conducting studies, managing projects, and preparing plans and strategies, interfacing with the public and performing a variety of administrative tasks. Planner Is work in the Development Department under the direct supervision of higher level professional planners. Planner Is typically receive specific assignments and assisting in determining data requirements, developing a work program, performing research and analysis, and preparing visual presentations and/or a final report.
