ITEM 7.G.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2010
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Jose E. Pulido, City Manage
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR AND THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT MANAGER / ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council is requested to review and approve the two at -will employment
agreements for the Community Development Director's position and the Economic
Development Manager / Assistant to the City Manager position.
BACKGROUND:
On June 29, 2010, the City Council, as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-11 City
Budget process, approved a City department reorganization. This City department
reorganization included the addition of three new positions to the City's Table of
Organization (i.e., Community Development Director, Economic Development
Manager / Assistant to the City Manager, and Code Enforcement Supervisor), as
well as the deletion of three positions (i.e., Public Safety Manager, Assistant to the
City Manager, and the Public Services Secretary).
2. Between August and early October 2010, the City advertised these three positions in
various local and statewide professional publications and on the City website. In
addition, the Community Development Director's position and Economic
Development Manager / Assistant to the City Manager position were also advertised
in the California Community Redevelopment Association (CRA) publication and
website, as well as the California Association for Local Economic Development
(CALED) online newsletter.
3. The recruitment for all three positions closed on Friday, October 8, 2010. A total of
18 applications were received for Community Development Director; 41 applications
City Council
12/21/10
Page 2
for Economic Manager / Assistant to the City Manager; and 23 applications for Code
Enforcement Supervisor.
4. After reviewing the applications, a list of potential candidates was developed by the
Personnel Analyst, and during the week of November 15, 2010, the first round of
interviews were conducted by an outside City panel for each of these positions.
5. During the week of November 22, 2010, the City Manager conducted the second
round of interviews with all 10 candidates for these three recruitments. Of the 10
candidates interviewed, four were for the Community Development Director, two for
the Economic Development Manager 1 Assistant to the City Manager, and four for
the Code Enforcement Supervisor.
6. In the first week of December 2010, the City Manager made job offers to the three
successful candidates and began the pre -employment medical and background
check process. Based on the City Attorney's advice, two of the three successful
candidates will need to enter into at -will employment agreements (i.e., Community
Development Director and Economic Development Manager / Assistant to the City
Manager positions).
ANALYSIS:
Consistent with the City Council's directive during the June 29, 2010 City Budget
adoption session, the City has successfully recruited three very qualified employees to
fill the three newly created positions in the Community Development Department and
the Management Services Department. Collectively, these three new staff members will
greatly enhance the City's community and economic development efforts in the years to
come. The next step in hiring two of the three candidates is to have the City Council
consider the approval of at -will employment agreements with Steven Masura for the
Community Development Director's position and with Brian Haworth for the Economic
Development Manager / Assistant to the City Manager position. The third position is the
Code Enforcement Supervisor position which is not an at -will position.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for these two at --will positions was allocated as part of the FY 2010-11 City
Budget adoption process on June 29, 2010, which was originally based on hire dates in
mid to late November. Hence, the City has accumulated additional savings in the City
budget.

CONCLUSION:
In an effort to fill the three new positions created during the City's FY 2010-11 Budget
adoption process, the City advertised the three positions in local and statewide venues
and subsequently conducted an extensive first and second round of interviews during
November 2010. In order to hire two of the three successful candidates, staff is
requesting that the City Council approve at -will employment agreements with Steven
Masura and Brian Haworth. If approved by the City Council on December 21, 2010, the
at -will employment agreements would become effective January 3, 2011.
