Mayor Spencer inquired if the new City Engineer is replacing someone or has the position been vacant. The Deputy Public Works Director responded that the current City Engineer has been under contract. Mayor Spencer inquired if there is not a City Engineer would the process still be to send the projects out to whomever is under contract or is the City going to now have a permanent City Engineer.
