DRAFT LANGUAGE FOR CITY MANAGER RECRUITMENT BROCHURE
The Community
Set against a scenic mountain backdrop on almost 15 square miles of rolling hills and valleys in
the East San Gabriel Valley region, the City of Diamond Bar is a predominantly middle -to upper-
class community that is home to 57,000 residents. It is mostly residential in character, with a
stock of approximately 18,500 homes which are 80% owner -occupied and 71% single family
homes, and 1,600 businesses of retail, commercial or light industrial -nature located within
interspersed pockets. Among the amenities that contribute to the high quality of life that is
valued by residents are the family -friendly atmosphere; the well-maintained parks, trails and
roads; top-rated school districts; and the unparalleled public safety services which contribute to
keeping the City among the top safest communities in the region.
The Organization
The City of Diamond Bar officially incorporated on April 18, 1989 and is a General Law City that
operates under the Council/Manager form of government. Legislative authority is vested in a
five -member City Council elected at large for four-year terms. The next election for three Council
seats is November 2017.
The Council is responsible for general City policy, as well as''for the appointment of the City
Manager, City Attorney, and members of the City's three citizen commissions. The Mayor is
selected by the members of the City Council each December and serves as the ceremonial head
of the City Council
The City provides service to the^community through, a contract -city model with public safety
services contracted out to Los Angeles County) Sheriff, Fireand Library "Districts". City
departments include: Administration, Information Systems, Public Works — Engineering and
Maintenance, Community Development, Finance and Parks and Recreation and are staffed by 52
full-time employees and approximately 60 part-time employees. All executive management and
division manager positions are currently filled with the exception of the Parks and Recreation
Director. The employees receive strong support, from management and the City Council, and
are not represented by a union:
The FY 2016-17 General Fund Budget is $26.1 million with a Capital Improvement Project Budget
of $19.6 million. The largest source of General Fund revenue is property, state, sales and local
taxes. The City has, over its 27 year history, demonstrated a balance between investing in the
future and a strong commitment to fiscal prudency by preserving a healthy fund balance reserve
of approximately $17 million. It is anticipated over the next several years that the City will
transition towards a more mature fiscal maintenance phase and so the City seeks to ensure that
funding will be adequate to maintain the high standards that the community values.
Some of the key projects and priorities overthe next several years will include the comprehensive
General Plan Update, 57/60 confluence project, traffic and transportation challenges, stimulating
economic development, continued stewardship and long-term sustainability of fiscal
responsibility, a4W preservation of quality of life through public safety.
