Bellflower fills economic development specialist role; staff reorganized to match priorities
Summary
Staff said the economic development department was reorganized to reflect council priorities and announced the hire of Jenny Benitez as an economic‑development specialist; Benitez had been on the job about a month and attended the Aug. 10 meeting.
As part of the economic development update, staff said the department structure was adjusted to reflect council priorities and that recruitment attracted a larger applicant pool after retitling a position.
Jim Delonge introduced the new hire in the audience, saying the city had changed the title and recruitment attracted more economic‑development professionals. “We were able to fill our position, hiring Jenny Benitez, who is sitting out in the audience here,” Delonge said, noting she had been with the department about a month at the time of the meeting.
Council members welcomed the hire and asked staff to proceed with the corridor studies and EDC research in parallel with the new staffing plan.
