The functions of Emergency Preparedness, Economic Development, and Public Information are divisions of the City Manager's Office. In addition to the City Manager, this office includes the Assistant City Manager and City Clerk.
Greg Grammer’s dedication to local government has spanned his entire career. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in Government/Journalism from California State, University Sacramento, he went straight to work for the City of Bradbury in 1993. While working as an Administrative Assistant there, he began studying for his master’s degree in Public Administration at California State University, Northridge, eventually making the move to the City of Rolling Hills Estates in 2000. He worked his way through the ranks in RHE, starting out as an Administrative Analyst and progressing to Assistant to the City Manager before being promoted to Assistant City Manager in 2010.
During his nearly 10 years as Assistant City Manager, Greg oversaw the completion of several capital improvement projects, including storm drain repairs, traffic signal and intersection improvements and street resurfacing on dozens of residential and arterial streets. He also supervised the Palos Verdes Drive North Bike Lane and Improvement Project. Completed in 2014 and funded primarily through federal, state and county grants in the amount of about $4 million, it was one of the largest public works projects in the City’s history. The project featured a number of enhancements to improve overall traffic flow and safety; in-roadway bike lanes on both sides of the street; raised median islands; crosswalk warning systems for school children and equestrians; three-rail white fencing and the addition of 60 trees in the medians and along the roadway.
Appointed as City Manager in July 2019, Greg led the City’s response during the COVID-19 pandemic. During his 24 years of service with the City, Greg has developed strong relationships with residents, civic leaders and members of the business community.
He is a member of the International City Managers Association (ICMA) and California City Management Foundation (CCMF).
