TITLE: RESOLUTION APPOINTING CITY TREASURER (RESO.
NO. 2025-xx) (REPORT OF: CITY MANAGER)
TITLE SUMMARY: Resolution Appointing City Treasurer (Reso. No. 2025-xx)
Recommendation(s)
That the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-xx Appointing a City Treasurer.
SUMMARY
California Government Code Section 34856 provides that when the office of the City Treasurer is made appointive, the appointment shall be made by the City Council. The promotion of Launa Jimenez from Chief Financial Officer/City Treasurer to Assistant City Manager (Administration) and the successful open recruitment of a new Chief Financial Officer necessitates that a new Treasurer be appointed.
DISCUSSION
Since the incorporation of the City, the Chief Financial Officer (or Finance Director) also held the title and responsibility of City Treasurer. After a successful open recruitment, the City Manager has appointed Dena Heald to the position of Chief Financial Officer.
Therefore, it is appropriate at this time for the City Council to adopt the proposed resolution appointing her as City Treasurer.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the proposed resolution appointing Dena Heald as City Treasurer

2. Do not adopt the proposed resolution and provide staff with further direction.
