I worked as a temporary Planning Secretary for Permit Sonoma under Nelson Staffing. It was my duty to support the planning staff with clerical work. General work includes creating Welcome Letters to new applicants, generating maps of an applicant's property, making neighborhood noticing lists for an applicant's property, and compiling Affidavits. I also work on sections of CEQA documents, such as Notices of Exemption (NOE) and Notices of Determination (NOD). The primary work I handle, however, is the noticing and licensing of Vacation rental permits following the county's new ordinance.

I was primarily tasked with watching over the front desk for the HR office. There I had to answer inquiries from members of the public and employees of the city alike regarding anything from health benefits to filing work complaints against the city. Besides this, I was also tasked with processing employee forms for New Hires, Promotions, and Terminations/Retirements, which required entering information into a worker database and filing away the respective papers within an alphabetized archive. I handle a large quantity of miscellaneous work, such as packaging invitations for city award ceremonies, processing and distributing mail across the office or printing employee badges.

I was a temporary worker requested by the City of Santa Rosa through Artizen Staffing. I was hired as part of the city's Emergency Short Term Vacation Rental Ordinance, and I was tasked with assisting Planners and Senior Planners in the handling of Short Term Rental Applications. I was specifically responsible for running a completeness check on all incoming permit applications, as well as handleing all residential inquiries regarding the new ordinance.

I was tasked with working with many of the city's planners, by participating in meetings and assisting with clerical work. I was responsible for writing up responses to resident inquires, often involving questions on zoning code restrictions for things such as fencing and tree removal. I often used the City's zoning code documents online, GIS mapping, and Accela Software.
