In August, a select committee of Planning Commission and Council members nominated Kirk Fatland to be our new City Planner. Council voted to confirm this at their August meeting. Kirk is an employee of Tenneson Engineering, headquartered in The Dalles, although he personally lives in the Portland area. He has experience as planner for many other smaller Oregon cities east of the Cascades, such as Condon and Metolius. We look forward to seeing him at his first Rivergrove meeting on October 4th.
