The Inglewood City Council filled two important vacancies last week, selecting a new city attorney and a new head of the city’s human resources department.
Acting City Attorney Kenneth Campos will soon assume the permanent position, capping off a 22-year career with the city attorney’s office. Since joining the city in 1992, Campos has held various titles, including assistant city attorney, senior assistant city attorney, and chief assistant city attorney. He holds a bachelor’s of science in business administration from California State University, Long Beach and a Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School.
The council has also promoted Assistant Human Resources Manager Jose Cortes to the chief human resources position. Cortes has worked for the city since 2002, having served as a senior human resources analyst, accountant manager, and assistant human resources manager during those 12 years. He holds a bachelor of arts in accounting and a master’s in business administration from Woodbury University, along with a California Public Employers Relations Association (CALPERLA) Labor Relations Academy Master Certificate.
“Filling the city attorney and human resources director vacancies was critical,” said Mayor James T. Butts, Jr. “Promoting these two exceptional gentlemen is the next logical step in the evolution of our city and right in line with the council’s goal of building a world-class leadership team comprised of highly talented individuals who are dedicated to the continued growth and prosperity of our great city.”
