Westfield council agrees to drop license requirement for city engineer job
WESTFIELD — The City Council voted unanimously on Sept. 5 to eliminate the requirement that the city engineer obtain a professional engineer license.
The change had been requested by Mayor Michael McCabe. Several councilors also said they were happy with the work being done by current City Engineer Allison McMordie, who does not have a P.E. license.
City Councilor Cindy Harris, chair of the council’s Personnel Action Committee, introduced the amendment. She said private industry pays much more than the city for someone with a P.E., and the combination of other important educational qualifications and skills in the job description would ensure that the city hires an employee who can do the work.
