TITLE
ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NO. CC-2301-008, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE OFFICIAL BOOK
OF CLASSIFICATIONS FOR THE POSITION OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City maintains an Official Book of Class Specifications for positions in the service of the City of Redondo Beach. As recruitments for positions are initiated, approved class specifications are created, reviewed and/or updated to validate current job duties, responsibilities and qualifications. It is recommended that the City Council update the job specification for Public Safety Communications Manager due to pending recruitment for the position.
BACKGROUND
In order to meet operational needs, and to best serve the community, the Police Department has taken the opportunity to evaluate the current vacancy of the Public Safety Communications Manager position. The proposed job specification would update the required education and experience for applicant eligibility making a degree from an accredited college or university in an occupationally related field preferred instead of required. This change will expand the field of candidates for the position and allow on-the-job experience to become a more determining factor. The Police Department’s recruitment for the position is currently underway and has been limited by the education requirement.
This action is recommended pursuant to Section 2-3.502 of Article 5 and Section 2-3.603 of Article 6, Chapter 3, Title 2 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code, which authorizes the Mayor and City Council to set forth from time to time, the class titles and specifications for job classifications. The job specifications for Public Safety Communications Manager position has been discussed with and approved by the Professional and Supervisory Association (PSA), which serves as the applicable labor association.
COORDINATION
The Police Department coordinated development of the class specification with the City Manager’s Office, Human Resources Department and the PSA. The City Attorney’s Office reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.
