The Economic Development Division of the City Manager's office is currently staffed by
five full-time employees. With the amount and complexity of projects that are ongoing or
under development at Tustin Legacy, Old Town Tustin, and other areas of the City, staff
has identified the need for an additional full-time position in this division.
The proposed Economic Development Project Manager is an exempt mid -management
position that would report to the Deputy Director of Economic Development. This
classification is responsible for planning, preparing, implementing, and monitoring
economic development program and project activities and providing professional
expertise and staff support to the Deputy Director of Economic Development. The
minimum qualifications for this position include a bachelor's degree in urban or regional
planning, architecture, or a related field and four (4) years of professional experience in
municipal planning or economic development or redevelopment program administration.
The annual salary range for this position would be approximately $77,580 to $99,469,
which is equivalent to the City's classification of Senior Planner.
