Administrative Services

The Administrative Services Department is comprised of two divisions: Finance and Human Resources/Risk Management.

The Finance Division of the Administrative Services Department is responsible for the overall financial operations of the City, the Successor Agency to the Covina Redevelopment Agency (SACRA) and Housing Authority. This responsibility includes ensuring proper reporting of financial transactions, appropriate internal control implementation and monitoring activities, and preparation and fair presentation of the annual financial statements.

The Human Resources & Risk Management Division of the Administrative Services Department works with all City departments to oversee employee services, employee relations, labor relations, safety, workers’ compensation, liability, damage to city property, and insurance. Responsibilities include recruitment and retention, onboarding, class and compensation, ensuring compliance with labor laws, training and development, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, Interactive Processes, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) compliance, benefits administration, retirement, labor negotiations, workers’ compensation management, safety and emergency preparedness, wellness, COVID response protocols and reporting, and liability claims.

Windstorm Update

The City had activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during the most severe portions of the wind event.  We will continue to monitor conditions and reopen the EOC when needed. The activation of the EOC ensures that City departments and other key service providers are coordinating response efforts to mitigate the impacts of these weather conditions. Locally, strong winds have caused downed trees/debris and power outages in the community. City crews will continue to monitor these conditions and respond to incidents to clear roadways of debris.

 

The City remains committed to providing essential services and ensuring public safety. Additional resources available to the community include the City’s smart phone service request application (Covina at Your Service), Southern California Edison’s power outage status map (https://www.sce.com/outage-center/check-outage-status) and LA County Fire Department’s “Ready! Set! Go!” brochure on wildfire preparedness (https://fire.lacounty.gov/rsg/). Additionally, community members may download the smart phone application Watch Duty (https://fire.lacounty.gov/rsg/) to receive updates on local conditions.
