<br>
City Manager Craig Owens announced today that Jeff Crick will be the new Planning and Development Services Director for the City of Lawrence-Douglas County Planning and Development Services Department. Jeff has served as the Planning Manager for the department
since 2018 and joined the City in 2013. He will begin in his new role immediately.<br>
<br>
Mr. Owens stated, “I am excited about Jeff taking on this new role. He has demonstrated enthusiasm and commitment to the important services provided by the department and an openness to look at these functions with a fresh perspective. We are fortunate to
have Jeff working for the City of Lawrence.” <br>
<br>
Mr. Crick was selected after strongly competing against a field of candidates from multiple states resulting from a national search. During the process, the City utilized several interview panels to provide input. The panels consisted of Douglas County officials,
neighborhood leaders, the Chamber of Commerce, department team members, the business community, and planning experts. <br>
<br>
When informed about the selection, Mr. Crick said, “I am honored to continue serving Lawrence and Douglas County in this new role, and I look forward to working with the community as a whole to help bring positive changes to reality. In my first days I want
to take time to listen and learn even more about the community’s vision for helping Douglas County and Lawrence grow into a stronger, more resilient community.”<br>
<br>
Mr. Crick has over 12 years of experience in varying levels of planning and community development. Previously, he was a long-range planner with the City of Columbia, South Carolina where he served as the principal author and project manager for their comprehensive
plan and staffed the Design/Development Review Commission. He joined the City of Lawrence - Douglas County in November of 2013 as a Planner II, serving the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee and working on Plan 2040, the Oread Neighborhood Design Guidelines,
and serving as staff liaison to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Since 2018, he has served as the Planning Manager for the City of Lawrence - Douglas County. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science and history, and a Master of Urban Planning degree from
the University of Kansas. He has been a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners since 2010.<br>
<br>
Mr. Owens also gave thanks to interim director Amy Miller saying, “I want to recognize and thank Amy Miller for her work serving as the interim director since late 2019. Amy has done an outstanding job maintaining services and functions during the interim,
and leading the department with responsiveness and creativity related to the pandemic.” Ms. Miller will return to her role as Assistant Director. <br>
