HMB Planning Director Liebster resigns

Half Moon Bay Planning Director Jack Liebster has resigned his position. His last day will be July 31.  In his resignation letter to city manager Debra Auker, Liebster said, "The long hours, magnified by the long commute, have taken a toll, and I look forward to a chance to recharge and retool, and spend some much-missed time with my family. "

UPDATE: City Manager Debra Auker says that it will take about three to four months to fill the position and that she will ask the city council whether it wants to use an executive search firm to fill the position. An interim director will be appointed until the position is filled. The city manager will fill the position and the amount of input from the community and city council is yet to be determined.
