Planning is underway to fill a vacancy in New Westminster city hall created by a promotion in 2013.

Bev Grieve was promoted to the city’s development services director position in October 2013, after having served as planning director for six years. The city is in the midst of filling the planning manager position.

“We are in the process of recruiting right at the moment,” Grieve told The Record. “We should be wound up by the end of January. There is a good selection of internal and external applicants.”

The planning department is currently fully staffed, and that may or may not be the case at the end of the month.

“Depending on what happens with the planning manager, we may or may not have another position,” Grieve said.
