Patrick Prescott was named director of Burbank’s Community Development Department, according to a statement released Friday.

Interim City Manager Ron Davis named Prescott to the post permanently. He had been serving as interim director since January and has worked for the city for more than a decade, including most recently the city’s deputy city planner.

“He’s the leader best equipped to move the Community Development Department forward,” Davis said in the statement.

Prescott had been selected to lead the department after a search conducted by an executive search firm last year, but then-City Manager Mark Scott declined to appoint him to the post permanently in January, during his last month with the city, with the idea that the decision should be left to his successor.

The departments Prescott will oversee include building, planning, transportation as well as housing and economic development.
