Many of you have asked if this weekly update would continue once I became your City Manager. Well, today was my first official day, and this evening I am pleased to share my very first City Manager’s Update.
Things are winding down as we approach next week’s holidays. Our next City Council meeting is scheduled for Jan. 14. Meetings of our boards, commissions and committees will resume the week of Jan. 6.
You can find the City Council meeting calendar for 2025 on our website or sign up to be notified about upcoming meetings.
I will continue to include a list of upcoming topics for City Council meetings in these weekly updates and report out on the major decisions and actions from those meetings. Today’s update includes some of our other regular topics:
“News you can use” like safety tips and how to keep your plumbing pipes clear
Employee spotlights and stories that take you behind the scenes of city operations
Practical information like where construction is planned and the city’s holiday hours
Exploring Carlsbad’s trails and nature
Upcoming city events and activities
In the coming weeks, I will also plan to cover other regular topics like city finances, the local economy and support for Carlsbad businesses, environmental sustainability, legislation affecting Carlsbad and updates on the status of major city projects. If there are other topics you’d like me to include, please let me know. I want to make sure this newsletter continues to be a way for community members to keep up with their local government and find out about the events, services and programs we offer.
I also want to encourage your feedback. Please tell me what you like and what you think would make the services we provide even better. If there is something that doesn’t make sense that you read about in these updates or something you heard about in your neighborhood, let me know. If you think I’ve messed something up, I want to know that too (although hopefully with just one day under my belt, that list will be short, for now).
So, with all that in mind, here we go …
