Bike Coordinator position re-advertised (again)

The county has been without a bike coordinator since January when Charlie Strunk, the former coordinator, retired. Charlie's retirement date was well known and the position should have been filled long ago.We are somewhat concerned that the position title and description have changed since the job was last announced. The job now includes pedestrian duties while remaining at the same pay level, Transportation Planner III. See the previous position description for Bicycle Program Coordinator. The new description is below. Applications must be submitted by August 28.
