City of Long Beach, CA
Long Beach, CA, United States
DESCRIPTION THE COMMUNITY Ideally located on the Pacific Ocean south of Los Angeles, adjacent to Orange County, the City of Long Beach, California (population 470,000) is frequently described as a series of strong, diverse interwoven smaller communities within a large city. Enjoying an ideal Southern California climate, Long Beach is home to an abundance of cultural and recreational options. The Long Beach Convention Center, Aquarium of the Pacific, Queen Mary, and the annual Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, plus a wide variety of other attractions (two historic ranchos, three marinas, and five golf courses), serve to draw 6.5 million visitors a year.

Known for its livable and desirable neighborhoods, Long Beach was named by America's Promise Alliance as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People two years in a row. While it offers all the amenities of a large metropolis, many say Long Beach offers the added benefit of having maintained a strong sense of community and cohesiveness despite its growth. A superb climate, quality schools, a vibrant downtown, and a wide variety of neighborhoods help make Long Beach one of the most livable communities in the country. CITY GOVERNMENT Long Beach, a charter city formed in 1897, is governed by nine City Council Members elected by district and a city-wide elected Mayor.

Long Beach is one of only three cities in California with its own Health Department and one of the very few municipalities with its own Utilities Department (Water and Gas) and Energy Resources Departments. The City is supported by a FY 2024 total budget of approximately $3.3 billion, with a General Fund budget of $719 million. More than 6,000 full and part-time employees support municipal operations with the vast majority being represented by twelve employee associations. To learn more about the City of Long Beach, go to: www.longbeach.gov. THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Financial Management, with 267 authorized permanent positions, oversees the City's financial and fleet services operations (each constituting about half of the department's employees) and serves as a financial adviser to the City Manager and City Council. The Department is organized into the following bureaus: Administration, City Controller/Accounting, Budget Management, Business Services, Commercial Services, Fleet Services, and City Treasurer. The Department's mission is to help the City Manager, Mayor and City Council keep the City financially strong, and to provide high quality fleet operations. The Department has an informal/relaxed personable work environment, but one expecting high productivity, dedication with integrity, and the best interests of the City always in mind. The City's Hybrid Work Program allows many Department employees to work remotely. THE BUREAU The Budget Management Bureau (Budget Office) is staffed with 14 full-time equivalent positions, responsible for managing all aspects of Citywide budget planning and development, as well as financial planning and revenue management. The Budget Office is recognized throughout the organization as a high-performing analytical operation that exhibits extraordinary teamwork and camaraderie. The Budget Office employs a strong collaborative approach and works closely across all City departments to develop policies and practices intended to maintain and improve the City's financial position consistent with operational and capital needs. The Budget Office has numerous other analyses and policy issues that it is involved with throughout the year. The Budget Office works closely with the City Manager's Office, Department Heads, and high-level staff. Examples of Budget Office's roles and responsibilities include: Annual Budget process development and implementation, including strategic planning with the City Manager's Office; calendar development/management; updates to and presentations on the projected fiscal outlook; issuance of budget instructions and relevant trainings to departments; review and analysis of departmental budget proposals; development of budget book and budget presentations; and management of public budget hearings and community engagement meetings. Review and approval of City Council letters (staff reports) prepared by all departments for accuracy in the fiscal impact including any financial considerations necessary for City Council including any upcoming or unknown financial elements. Citywide management, analysis, and monitoring of all funds (General and other funds), including budget adjustment reports, quarterly performance reports, and preparation of year-end estimates, and fund proformas. Revenue management, maintenance, and maximization including the management of citywide master fees list and updates, administration of shared revenue agreements and other contract administration, and long-term forecasting. Special projects, many of which include analysis on major City initiatives, as requested by the City Manager and/or Finance Director/Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Responsibility for performing all financial calculations required throughout the labor negotiation process with the City's 12 bargaining units. Responsibility for performing analysis and liaising with consultants on employee benefits, to include health, dental and life and the City's pension plan. THE BUDGET PROCESS The City of Long Beach fiscal year is from October 1st to September 30th. Under the City Charter, the City Manager is responsible for preparing and presenting a proposed budget to the Mayor by July 3rd. By August 2nd, the proposed budget must be released to the City Council for deliberation. At this time, the City holds public hearings and community meetings. The proposed budget must be adopted by the charter deadline of September 15th. Shortly after budget adoption, planning and strategy development for the upcoming fiscal year begins. Working closely with the City Manager and the City Manager Executive team, the Budget Office is the lead in developing recommendations and approaches for the upcoming year. Once an approach is adopted, modifications may be discussed and implemented throughout the process depending on the circumstances. THE POSITION The Budget Manager is a critical, high-level position in the City and is responsible for managing and directing a complex budget process, developing budget solutions, and for the City's financial planning. The Budget Manager reports to the Finance Director/CFO, but has substantial independent authority, such as attending all City Manager Department Head meetings and conducting weekly budget briefings with the City Manager and Assistant City Manager. Both the City Manager and the Finance Director/ CFO have strong backgrounds in budgeting and the Budget Office has a core of experienced staff, comprising an extraordinary team to support the Budget Manager. This position frequently works directly with the City's elected officials, including the Mayor and Members of the City Council. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Although the City has successfully addressed many challenges over the last decade, including pandemic-related impacts, the City of Long Beach faces a number of upcoming challenges. The Budget Manager is a key participant in addressing the complex challenges that the City faces now and in the future. The City's budget is c omplex due, in part, to many funding sources. This includes the City's large enterprise and internal service funds, and many special projects with unique funding streams which must be closely managed and reviewed. The Budget Manager must adapt the budget process and financial analysis on a regular basis to the current and upcoming needs of the City. The focus of the Budget Office over the next several years will be financial planning and strategy to ensure the Mayor and City Council have the information and recommendations they need to maintain the City's historically strong financial position and to design and implement a structurally balanced budget in the face of projected shortfalls, assuming lower position vacancies Citywide, and a desire by the Mayor and City Council to somewhat increase service levels. There will be many other challenges and opportunities as the Budget Office is involved in many of the City's major issues and decisions. This includes major City initiatives to achieve the City's goals as outlined in Long Beach Strategic Vision 2030 and successfully prepare for its role during the 2028 Olympics, in addition to supporting the Grow Long Beach Initiative, which pushes the City to develop a plan to propel the City's economic development and move away from reliance on oil revenue. THE IDEAL CANDIDATE The ideal candidate will have the proven ability to lead, solve problems, and deal tactfully in a politically sensitive environment. Further, the ideal candidate must be able to skillfully and effectively communicate across all levels of the organization including Budget Office staff, City executive management, public officials and the public. The ideal candidate should be inquisitive and have outstanding verbal and written communication skills, as well as a high-level of political insight and sensitivity. The Budget Manager must have the ability to mesh with and lead a high performing Budget Office team that prides itself on producing high-quality deliverables under difficult circumstances. The ideal candidate should be skilled in detailed analysis, in order to structure and lead budget and financial presentations/discussions. The Department of Financial Management, including the Budget Office, operates with a level of informality and generally operates as a team regardless of the organizational hierarchy (e.g., Finance Director working directly with Budget Office team members, and vice versa). Candidates should be comfortable in this informal although intense environment. The ideal candidate will have a positive, "can do" approach with a commitment to high-quality work products and fostering the strong team culture. To be successful in this position, the Budget Manager must be able to: Enhance the vision and direction for budgeting and financial planning based on the specific, and fluid situation in Long Beach, make recommendations that are consistent with that direction, and effectively communicate them. Adapt their approach to Long Beach's political, organizational and people environment. Encourage and graciously take input, feedback, and suggestions from multiple sources at various levels and have the professional courage to make the best possible recommendations based on that input. Develop the Budget Office into an even stronger operation, respected for its analytics and for its contributions to budget management and the City's financial direction, as well as develop the skills of the team and foster the long-standing, existing teamwork of the staff. Develop a strong relationship with the City Manager and Finance Director/CFO to further refine and advance the goals and vision of the Budget Office, and to improve City finances and budgeting. Build relationships and develop the confidence of the Mayor, City Council, City Manager and Departments. Effectively message financial/budget strategies and approaches and make convincing presentation to various audiences (public, City Council, department heads, etc.) Understand fund accounting well enough to convert it to budget basis reporting in the budget document and reports to City Council and the public; foster a strong relationship with the City's accounting and treasury operations. Identify and/or help resolve complex, budget/accounting technical issues in operating departments and at a citywide level. Communicate verbally and in writing in a comprehensive, thorough, and timely manner. Work with the City Manager and Human Resources Department's Labor Relations Division to provide strategy support and calculations for negotiations with employee bargaining groups.

DESCRIPTION THE COMMUNITY Ideally located on the Pacific Ocean south of Los Angeles, adjacent to Orange County, the City of Long Beach, California (population 470,000) is frequently described as a series of strong, diverse interwoven smaller communities within a large city. Enjoying an ideal Southern California climate, Long Beach is home to an abundance of cultural and recreational options. The Long Beach Convention Center, Aquarium of the Pacific, Queen Mary, and the annual Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, plus a wide variety of other attractions (two historic ranchos, three marinas, and five golf courses), serve to draw 6.5 million visitors a year. The City is also home to California State University, Long Beach and Long Beach City College. Cal State Long Beach is the second largest university in the state and was recently ranked the No. 3 best-value public college in the nation. Covering approximately 50 square miles, Long Beach is supported by a wide mix of industries with education, health and social services, manufacturing, retail trade, and professional services comprising the highest representation. Known for its livable and desirable neighborhoods, Long Beach was named by America's Promise Alliance as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People two years in a row. While it offers all the amenities of a large metropolis, many say Long Beach offers the added benefit of having maintained a strong sense of community and cohesiveness despite its growth. A superb climate, quality schools, a vibrant downtown, and a wide variety of neighborhoods help make Long Beach one of the most livable communities in the country. CITY GOVERNMENT Long Beach, a charter city formed in 1897, is governed by nine City Council Members elected by district and a city-wide elected Mayor. Other elected officials include the City Attorney, City Auditor, and City Prosecutor. The elected officials are elected to staggered four-year terms. The City Council appoints the City Manager and City Clerk. The City Manager is responsible for the efficient administration of all City departments, excluding those under the direction of a separately elected official, Board or Commission. Long Beach is one of only three cities in California with its own Health Department and one of the very few municipalities with its own Utilities Department (Water and Gas) and Energy Resources Departments. The City is supported by a FY 2024 total budget of approximately $3.3 billion, with a General Fund budget of $719 million. More than 6,000 full and part-time employees support municipal operations with the vast majority being represented by twelve employee associations. To learn more about the City of Long Beach, go to: www.longbeach.gov. THE DEPARTMENT The Department of Financial Management, with 267 authorized permanent positions, oversees the City's financial and fleet services operations (each constituting about half of the department's employees) and serves as a financial adviser to the City Manager and City Council. The Department is organized into the following bureaus: Administration, City Controller/Accounting, Budget Management, Business Services, Commercial Services, Fleet Services, and City Treasurer. The Department's mission is to help the City Manager, Mayor and City Council keep the City financially strong, and to provide high quality fleet operations. The Department has an informal/relaxed personable work environment, but one expecting high productivity, dedication with integrity, and the best interests of the City always in mind. The City's Hybrid Work Program allows many Department employees to work remotely. THE BUREAU The Budget Management Bureau (Budget Office) is staffed with 14 full-time equivalent positions, responsible for managing all aspects of Citywide budget planning and development, as well as financial planning and revenue management. The Budget Office is recognized throughout the organization as a high-performing analytical operation that exhibits extraordinary teamwork and camaraderie. The Budget Office employs a strong collaborative approach and works closely across all City departments to develop policies and practices intended to maintain and improve the City's financial position consistent with operational and capital needs. The Budget Office has numerous other analyses and policy issues that it is involved with throughout the year. The Budget Office works closely with the City Manager's Office, Department Heads, and high-level staff. Examples of Budget Office's roles and responsibilities include: Annual Budget process development and implementation, including strategic planning with the City Manager's Office; calendar development/management; updates to and presentations on the projected fiscal outlook; issuance of budget instructions and relevant trainings to departments; review and analysis of departmental budget proposals; development of budget book and budget presentations; and management of public budget hearings and community engagement meetings. Review and approval of City Council letters (staff reports) prepared by all departments for accuracy in the fiscal impact including any financial considerations necessary for City Council including any upcoming or unknown financial elements. Citywide management, analysis, and monitoring of all funds (General and other funds), including budget adjustment reports, quarterly performance reports, and preparation of year-end estimates, and fund proformas. Revenue management, maintenance, and maximization including the management of citywide master fees list and updates, administration of shared revenue agreements and other contract administration, and long-term forecasting. Special projects, many of which include analysis on major City initiatives, as requested by the City Manager and/or Finance Director/Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Responsibility for performing all financial calculations required throughout the labor negotiation process with the City's 12 bargaining units. Responsibility for performing analysis and liaising with consultants on employee benefits, to include health, dental and life and the City's pension plan. THE BUDGET PROCESS The City of Long Beach fiscal year is from October 1st to September 30th. Under the City Charter, the City Manager is responsible for preparing and presenting a proposed budget to the Mayor by July 3rd. By August 2nd, the proposed budget must be released to the City Council for deliberation. At this time, the City holds public hearings and community meetings. The proposed budget must be adopted by the charter deadline of September 15th. Shortly after budget adoption, planning and strategy development for the upcoming fiscal year begins. Working closely with the City Manager and the City Manager Executive team, the Budget Office is the lead in developing recommendations and approaches for the upcoming year. Once an approach is adopted, modifications may be discussed and implemented throughout the process depending on the circumstances. THE POSITION The Budget Manager is a critical, high-level position in the City and is responsible for managing and directing a complex budget process, developing budget solutions, and for the City's financial planning. The Budget Manager reports to the Finance Director/CFO, but has substantial independent authority, such as attending all City Manager Department Head meetings and conducting weekly budget briefings with the City Manager and Assistant City Manager. Both the City Manager and the Finance Director/ CFO have strong backgrounds in budgeting and the Budget Office has a core of experienced staff, comprising an extraordinary team to support the Budget Manager. This position frequently works directly with the City's elected officials, including the Mayor and Members of the City Council. CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Although the City has successfully addressed many challenges over the last decade, including pandemic-related impacts, the City of Long Beach faces a number of upcoming challenges. The Budget Manager is a key participant in addressing the complex challenges that the City faces now and in the future. The City's budget is c omplex due, in part, to many funding sources. This includes the City's large enterprise and internal service funds, and many special projects with unique funding streams which must be closely managed and reviewed. The Budget Manager must adapt the budget process and financial analysis on a regular basis to the current and upcoming needs of the City. The focus of the Budget Office over the next several years will be financial planning and strategy to ensure the Mayor and City Council have the information and recommendations they need to maintain the City's historically strong financial position and to design and implement a structurally balanced budget in the face of projected shortfalls, assuming lower position vacancies Citywide, and a desire by the Mayor and City Council to somewhat increase service levels. There will be many other challenges and opportunities as the Budget Office is involved in many of the City's major issues and decisions. This includes major City initiatives to achieve the City's goals as outlined in Long Beach Strategic Vision 2030 and successfully prepare for its role during the 2028 Olympics, in addition to supporting the Grow Long Beach Initiative, which pushes the City to develop a plan to propel the City's economic development and move away from reliance on oil revenue. THE IDEAL CANDIDATE The ideal candidate will have the proven ability to lead, solve problems, and deal tactfully in a politically sensitive environment. Further, the ideal candidate must be able to skillfully and effectively communicate across all levels of the organization including Budget Office staff, City executive management, public officials and the public. The ideal candidate should be inquisitive and have outstanding verbal and written communication skills, as well as a high-level of political insight and sensitivity. The Budget Manager must have the ability to mesh with and lead a high performing Budget Office team that prides itself on producing high-quality deliverables under difficult circumstances. The ideal candidate should be skilled in detailed analysis, in order to structure and lead budget and financial presentations/discussions. The Department of Financial Management, including the Budget Office, operates with a level of informality and generally operates as a team regardless of the organizational hierarchy (e.g., Finance Director working directly with Budget Office team members, and vice versa). Candidates should be comfortable in this informal although intense environment.
