Not only is the City of Williams Lake looking for a Human Resources Manager (Temp - 1 year), and a Senior Bylaw Officer, but now it is looking for a "Bylaw Services Officer" as of this past Tuesday - see that ad here
I can not recall a time, of the 33 years I've lived in this City, where I've seen more City Staff turn-over then during this term of local government. Usually a few leaving the City for new jobs, retirement, etc is expected and does occur in most local governments in BC, but having 14 leaving the City in 33 months should be deeply troubling and certainly from my perspective suggests that there is, indeed, some sort of morale or other workplace issue(s) that needs resolving...
SBF
Update - I'm advised that the Senior Bylaw Officer post has now been filled. Still - I stand by my conclusion that the high amount of staff turnover should be concerning to this community and the appropriate questions need to be asked - why this is occuring and what the City can do to ensure it retains its' employees as long as it can

They promoted a bylaw officer to the senior bylaw officer position. They're not looking for a senior officer anymore. Get a brain. It's one posting, created by one departure.
HR Manager posting is a maternity leave.
Surely she must have planned a baby to escape the "low morale" at City Hall.
