SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION FOR ITEM NO. 20 (22-191) - ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2022-09 MODIFYING THE SALARY AND BENEFITS FOR
NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES AND APPROVE FOR INTRODUCTION
ORDINANCE NO. 4250 TO AMEND SECTION 2.76.010 OF THE HUNTINGTON
BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO EXCLUSIONS FROM COMPETITIVE SERVICE; AND, AUTHORIZE APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
This supplemental communication is to provide clarification on proposed Ordinance No. 4250, which staff is seeking City Council's approval to introduce.
Huntington Beach Municipal Code Section 2.76.010 lists the positions that are excluded from competitive service, also known as at-will positions. This includes the Non- Associated executive management positions.
The list of non-represented positions has changed since the last ordinance update in November 2020. The proposed language would incorporate these changes, and broaden the terminology to streamline updates when titles are modified or added. Specifically, rather than listing each of the assistant/deputy director positions separately, they have been compiled into the category of "Appointive Assistant/Deputy department heads" to mirror the existing language of "Appointive departments heads.
