Planning Director
The Office of Planning and Community Development is primarily responsible for land use planning and code enforcement. The Director provides day to day leadership, management and development of staff in a complex regulatory work environment. Work involves the exercise of considerable judgment resolving sensitive land use and development issues within County, State, Federal and Tribal guidelines, policies and codes. The Director is expected to work closely with the Board of County Commissioners, Planning Commission and the community to develop goals, objectives, rules, regulations and policies that achieve quality, sustainable regional development. Unique to Okanogan County is that we do not plan fully under GMA, and respect a long-standing land use agreement with the Colville Confederated Tribes. Starting Salary is $6500-$7500 per month with benefits. This is a non-union contracted position.
