Welcome to the City of Carlsbad. 

I would like to personally welcome you to the official website for the City of Carlsbad.  In my role, I oversee the daily operations of the city, implement the policies adopted by the City Council and direct the work of city staff.  The city manager also provides leadership for city programs and services to promote the quality of life enjoyed by all who live, work and play in our great city.

One of the top goals of the city manager’s office is to help our community access information and services from their city government.  I hope you will take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the resources provided here on our website.  And, please check back often to get the latest city news, learn about important services and find out how you can help shape the future of our community.

All the best!

John Coates, City Manager
