The City maintains an official book of class specifications for positions in the service of Redondo Beach. Pursuant to Article 6, Chapter 3 of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code, as recruitments for open positions are initiated, class specifications are reviewed and updated to validate current job duties, responsibilities, and qualifications. The Manager position within the Waterfront & Economic Development Department has historically been filled with the Support Services Manager job specification. It has been over nine years since the job duties, responsibilities, and qualifications of the Support Services Manager job specification have been reviewed and updated. Staff is recommending the adoption of the attached Resolution amending the job duties, responsibilities, and minimum qualifications to better align with the current job functions and needs of the Waterfront & Economic Development Department. The proposed Resolution also amends the title of the Support Services Manager to the Waterfront & Economic Development Manager. There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed change.
