Welcome to the City of Carlsbad.

As city manager, I am appointed by the City Council to oversee the daily operations of the city, implement the policies adopted by the City Council and direct the work of city staff.  My role is also to provide leadership for city programs and services to promote the quality of life enjoyed by all who live, work and play in our great city.

Helping our community access the information and services they need from their city government is a top priority of the city manager’s office and one of the main goals of this Web site.  Please check back often to find out the latest city news, get help with city services and learn about ways you can help shape the future of our community.
