City parts ways with planning director

The City of Sisters has parted ways with Community Development Director Patrick Davenport, bringing to an end his five-year tenure in the Sisters planning department.

The community development department will continue to process land use applications and permits with Nicole Mardell, senior planner undertaking the burden of the work with support from Cory Misley and City legal counsel.

Misley told The Nugget that he hopes to have a job offering out in a couple of weeks, but he does not expect a new community development director to be in place for a while.

“That can easily be a two-and-half to three-month process,” he said.

Davenport was hired in Sisters in March 2015.
