The Economic Development Division of the Community Development Department is in
need of additional staff to handle the division's workload, including the completion and
implementation of the City's first comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

generate, the need for expanded economic development activities designed to ensure a
balanced community, a high standard of living, and long-term municipal fiscal
sustainability. The current workload, as well as the anticipated additional workload that
will be generated as a result of successful economic development activities, fully justifies
the need for this position. The Economic Development Division currently includes four
budgeted positions: Economic Development Manager, Principal Community
Development Specialist, Senior Community Development Specialist, and Community
Development Specialist I/II. Staff is recommending that a second Community
Development Specialist I/II position be added to the Economic Development Division
