Orinda has selected Drummond Buckley as its permanent planning director, filling a vacancy that has existed since last September. Buckley succeeds Interim Planning Director Victor Carniglia. He will officially assume office on Feb. 29.
Buckley worked as a Senior Planner in Orinda from 1996 to 1999. His other planning experience in the public sector includes planning director for Sausalito, and he has held various private sector planning positions.
