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. 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 Water and Energy Resources Departments. In 2019, the City of Long Beach and Plenary Properties Long Beach unveiled the completion of the new four-building Long Beach Civic Center, which includes a new City Hall and Port Administration Building. The tree-lined pedestrian plaza is reflective of an innovative public-private partnership and the Civic Center is designed to revitalize the civic core of downtown to serve residents, attract visitors, and provide safe and efficient city operations. The City is supported by a FY2023 total budget of $3.2 billion with a General Fund budget of $669 million. It has a FY 2023 Capital Improvement Budget of $500 million. Long Beach employs approximately 6,048 full-time equivalent staff. THE DEPARTMENT The Human Resources (HR) Department provides the full range of human resources support services to 23 departments throughout the City. HR's services include labor relations, employee relations, benefits, training, salary, and classification administration, HRIS administration, oversight of personnel investigations, EEO compliance, occupational health services, risk management, and safety compliance. We believe that the City's greatest assets are its employees and take great pride in managing the systems that support a highly productive, innovative, caring, and customer-oriented workforce. The Department of Human Resources strategically supports the City & its departments in attracting, developing, and retaining a highly skilled and diverse workforce. The vision of the department is to make Long Beach an employer of choice through a commitment to service and excellence. We are committed to being strategic partners with all departments to ensure that the City has the talent and resources needed to provide great services to the community.

They will also oversee a budget of $6.7M. Hiring and retaining high-performing public agency employees in 2023 is extremely challenging, especially in the hyper-competitive job market. The "Great Resignation" of the pandemic was a "great re-evaluation" of work, which has forever changed how we work and how we think about our careers and lives. Hiring inefficiencies and bottlenecks will be addressed by this decisive leader, who will have a clear vision for streamlined operational procedures. The new Manager will be eager to help the City move forward, bringing the time-to-hire down to a minimum and developing a more effective training process for staff.
