RECOMMENDATION
 
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission approve the new recruitment bulletin for Finance Manager.
 
 
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION 
 
In October 2019, the Civil Service Commission approved the classification specification for Finance Manager. This position is assigned to the Finance Department. Occupants of this classification are in the classified service.  
The Finance Manager is responsible for the performance of complex financial, revenue and budgetary work of considerable difficulty. Incumbents of this classification manage the Revenue Division of the Finance Department, as well as the areas of Payroll, 
Account Payable and General Financial and Budget Systems for both the City and its component financial units. 
 
The Finance Department plays a key role in each financial transaction of the City, ranging from cash handling to debt management; from financial forecasting to budgetary controls. The Department responsibilities include: financial administration, budgeting and financial analysis, accounting and auditing of City resources, establishment of sound internal controls, cash management, debt management, purchasing, investments, billing and collection of monies due the City, issuing of business licenses, accounts payable and payroll. 
We are submitting the new recruitment bulletin for approval due to the significance of the classification and in anticipation of opening an urgent recruitment due to a promotion.  
The bulletin includes the necessary recruitment information as well as the examination components.  The exam component includes an oral interview, weighted at 100%. This exam component is aligned with similar classifications within the City.
Bargaining Unit Representation
 
The recruitment bulletin, Attachment 1, is reflective of the classification specification, Attachment 2.  A copy of the proposed bulletin has been provided to the Culver City Management Group (CCMG) for their information.
