City Planning Dept Shrinks as Staff Turndowns Hit
Frederick Panning Department spent nearly two years staffing with planners. Within months two quit, another two left in January and March. Planning Director Charles Boyd said the city must speed long range work while handling daily development reviews. Heath left March 16 after 15 months, Weimer vanished after 81 days due to pay, family issues and return home to Lago Mer, Pa. Boyd noted ongoing staffing strain and possible expanded department to meet city needs.
