OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY DAWN MCINTOSH, City Attorney 411 W. Ocean Boulevard, 9th Floor Long Beach, CA 90802 RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LONG BEACH APPROVING A LETTER OF
AGREEMENT TO THE 2023-2026 MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING WITH THE LONG BEACH
MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION AND REVISED CITYWIDE
SALARY SCHEDULE & MANAGEMENT SALARY
SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, the City of Long Beach (“City”) desires to amend the Long Beach Management Association (“LBMA”) 2023-2026 Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) and Management Salary Schedule to reflect an increase to the City Health Officer classification’s assigned salary range; and
WHEREAS, the City Health Officer is a state-mandated position for a local health jurisdiction, requiring a designated, licensed physician to exercise statutory public health authority; and
WHEREAS, without a Health Officer, the Department faces significant gaps in its statutory public health authority, including the ability to respond to communicable disease outbreaks, issue health orders, and fulfill legally required public health officer duties; and
WHEREAS, this is not a discretionary role, and an extended vacancy exposes the Department to legal and operational risk, particularly in the event of an outbreak or other public health emergency requiring immediate exercise of Health Officer authority; and
WHEREAS, approving an increase to the current annual salary would bring the position in line with comparable jurisdictions and remove a key barrier to attracting and retaining qualified candidates for this legally mandated role;
