There will be a <br /> new PCDP Program Manager this year, so having the assistance of a Planning Assistant will be <br /> even more important <br /> This last year, the PCDP has had a Planning Assistant and a meeting recorder and she has been <br /> invaluable. We propose that her contract be renewed. The additional responsibility of assisting <br /> the Village Center Planning groups could also be added. <br />
