All this takes a lot of staff time.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, where immediate needs conflict with longer range plans, the manager needs to establish communication as a key priority. \u00a0The manager needs to remind the Council, for example, that while their number one goal is still number one, it will necessarily be delayed.\u00a0 That sounds easy, but there will be legitimate questions from Council Members about why we can\u2019t organize ourselves out of this mess (we can\u2019t). There are some fixes available, such as bringing in consultants to temporarily broaden the bandwidth, but in a smaller city it is crucial to have the staff, which is familiar with all of the issues, be the face of the City\u2019s response to the project.\u00a0 On the other hand, staff must be the leader of that General Plan update.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the development project will require that staff resources be directed to social media, as well as neighborhood workshops, to keep the community informed about the project. \u00a0Meetings with the City Attorney will expand and then expand some more. \u00a0No one will like anything that\u2019s in the environmental impact report; staff will have to explain the intricacies of an 800 page document to the developer, the Council, the community, and in short order, the newspaper. And then there are those public records requests\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Although it might seem somewhat unfair, the work must be done quickly<i> and <\/i>thoughtfully.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the typo on page 12 that\u2019s the problem. \u00a0It\u2019s the lack of strategy for dealing with multiple concerns and the need to have a recommendation that makes sense. The community will accept a recommendation it doesn&#8217;t agree with if it&#8217;s well-reasoned and thoughtful.\u00a0 This, however, will take more time.<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026when you get the resource allocation question, go ahead and start with the textbook answer, but have some good examples of how you would redeploy resources when the need arises\u2014as it inevitably will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview panels for higher-level public positions sometimes ask how you would establish priorities for resource allocation. \u00a0In order to answer this question, you will need to know more than just the textbook answer.
