SUBJECT: Creation of a New Classification — Property Agent
In July, 2013, at the direction of the City Manager and with the authorization of the City Council,
a new City department was created: Housing, Grants & Asset Management. Development of the
department included bringing together existing staffresponsible for low and moderate income
housing programs and grant administration. What was not available and therefore did not transfer
into this newly formed department was a position responsible for performing duties related to the
department's third primary area of responsibility: management of the City's real property assets.
At the request of the appointing authority, a study of the proposed property management duties
was under taken to determine how to staff this function.
The primary duty of the position is to manage the City's real property assets. The City, and its
component entities (the Parking Authority and the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment
Agency), own both developed and undeveloped parcels of land throughout the city. The position
under study will be responsible for performing a wide range of duties related to the appraisal,
acquisition, leasing, rental, sale, and property management of real property assets, Knowledge,
skills and ability required of this position include knowledge of Federal, state and local laws
governing real property transactions, contracts and land titles; and the ability to effectively
negotiate property rights, read and interpret legal documents, and manage complex transactions.
In reviewing the City of National City classification plan, it has been determined that there is no
existing City of National City classification matching the scope of this proposed position.
Based on the above, staff hereby requests the creation of a new classification: Property Agent.
The scope of the position and the proposed title are consistent with the class specifications and
naming convention of similarly situated positions in other San Diego county public agencies.
