Background on Lieutenant Position 6
Management Partners Study from 2018 found challenges with the command
staff not being unified and several other findings related to management
deficiencies. As part of implementing solutions, an Assistant Chief position
was created from a Lieutenant position through an agreement with the
Police Management Association to make every effort to restore the
Lieutenant position in budget process for FY 2019-20.

Excerpt From Agreement Between the City and the HBPD
Police Management Association
October 22, 2018
"Rather, the City will make its best efforts to refund that
position by July 2019 as part of the budget development
process. The City agrees that if the defunded Police
Lieutenant position is not refunded, the City will not add
another position to the Table of Organization or refund a
defunded position for the Police Department until that Police
Lieutenant position is refunded first."

Succession Planning

CASE IN POINT: HUNTINGTON BEACH
• In the City of Huntington Beach, an entire third of the
workforce, 280 staff, are eligible to retire today �-
• That is in addition to a record high of 48 retirements in 2018
• These retirements will be across all Departments, including 62
public safety employees
• The resultant impacts will affect the workforce and community:
■ Loss of institutional memory within the organization " I
■ Increases in overtime spending until vacancies are filled
■ Productivity and performance delays as the organization
struggles to run several recruitments at once
■ Increased workloads for staff until vacancies are filled
■ Potential delays in providing service to the public
Challenges to Replenishing Talent 10
Public sector hiring and promotional practices
► One-size-fits-all approach
► Budgetary challenges restrict the ability to add new positions to
the City's workforce
If positions cannot be added, the positions remaining are even
more essential

Succession Planning 12
Succession planning involves planned development
activities for a group of high potential staff to perform in key
critical leadership positions.
Changes to department structures: adding, deleting, and
modifying classifications.
A competitive process for key positions is still utilized.
A formal competency assessment or selection process will
be used to select the most qualified candidates.

Citywide Succession Planning Efforts 13
Human Resources has streamlined the hiring and promotional process so that
movement to a higher position is easier and faster.
Numerous classifications have been modified to allow for a promotion from one
position to another by streamlining promotional opportunities for internal
candidates
This allows for promotions based on meeting the minimum qualifications needed
for the higher position and the minimum year(s) experience required
This has ostensibly eliminated in many instances the extensive and costly process
to conduct an internal or external open and competitive testing and recruitment
process when it is clear an internal candidate is qualified to do the job
Numerous classifications have been modified for the new "Flexible Staffing" model
Citywide Succession Planning Efforts 14
Internal Only Processes
The City has agreed to post ALL open positions within the MEA internally first to allow internal
employees first dibs for all City positions The INTERNAL ONLY process is five days. There is
no posting of the position outside of the organization during this period.
Targeted Succession Planning Efforts have been employed in the past at all levels
