Subject: Ordinance Modifying City Manager Residency Requirements
Districts: All
Recommended Action
Introduce an ordinance titled, “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Carlsbad,
California Amending Title 2, Chapter 2.12, Section 2.12.010 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code
relating to residency requirements of the City Manager.”
Executive Summary/Explanation & Analysis
Chapter 2.12.010 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code currently states that residence in the city at
the time a City Manager is appointed shall not be required as a condition of the appointment,
but within 180 days after reporting for work, the City Manager must become a resident of the
city unless the City Council approves his or her residence outside the city.
This provision has not been enforced since 2008 because Article XI, Section 10(b) of the
California Constitution provides:
A city …, including any chartered city …, may not require that its employees
be residents of such city …; except that such employees may be required to
reside within a reasonable and specific distance of their place of employment
or other designated location.
Staff are recommending amending the residency requirement in Section 2.12.010 to comply
with the state Constitution. The proposed ordinance in Exhibit 1 amends Section 2.12.010 to
require that the City Manager reside within 60 miles of City Hall, rather than within the City of
Carlsbad.
Fiscal Analysis
The existing fiscal year 2024-2025 budget for the City Clerk’s Office includes sufficient funding
for the cost of amending the referenced code section.
Nov. 12, 2024 Item #5 Page 1 of 5
Next Steps
The City Clerk’s Office will prepare the ordinance for adoption at the next regular City Council
meeting. Once adopted, the City Clerk will publish the ordinance or a summary of the ordinance
in a newspaper of general circulation within 15 days. The ordinance will be effective 30 days
following its adoption.
Environmental Evaluation
In keeping with California Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute
a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act in that it has no
potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Subject: Tuesday Item 5 Objection: City Manager Residence
Mayor Blackburn and City Council,
I am writing to express my objection to the City Manager's Tuesday Item 5 recommendation that we
revise the City Charter to remove the requirement that the City Manager reside in Carlsbad. The reason
for residence requirement is obviously so that this position understands and prioritizes the needs of
Carlsbad, a perspective that only a Carlsbad resident would respect.
1
However, our $514,477 per year compensated City Manager does NOT represent Carlsbad well and has
squandered millions in homeless grants to INCREASE Carlsbad homeless 87% this year. Instead, this
guy imports homeless from where he lives in San Diego and puts them in District 1 's Windsor Pointe,
which was supposed to help Carlsbad's homeless. However (as you know), this crime-ridden dumpster
fire houses only 5 tenants with any Carlsbad affiliation out of 50 apartments and the same homeless
sleeping in the streets of the Village and in cars on Palm Avenue are still there. And he refuses to remedy
this.

Excellent letter. No, if you don't live in Carlsbad you should not be city
manager. Plus his salary is way too high. I have never felt he has done
a really good job. I think his salary should not be over $225.00.
Thank you Denis for working so hard on this. Paula Yokoyama

Everything went to pot when Cori got in. This is when Mark Packard
was no longer on the Council. The Democrats moved in and spending

went up. Very bad development. Matt Hall and Mark Packard kept
spending down and did many great things!

Excellent letter. No, if you don't live in Carlsbad you should not be
city manager. Plus his salary is way too high. I have never felt he has
done a really good job. I think his salary should not be over $225.00.
Thank you Denis for working so hard on this. Paula Yokoyama

I am writing to express my objection to the City Manager's Tuesday Item 5 recommendation that we

Carlsbad, a perspective that only a Carlsbad resident would respect.
However, our $514,477 per year compensated City Manager does NOT represent Carlsbad well and
has squandered millions in homeless grants to INCREASE Carlsbad homeless 87% this year. Instead,
this guy imports homeless from where he lives in San Diego and puts them in District 1 's Windsor
Pointe, which was supposed to help Carlsbad's homeless. However (as you know), this crime-ridden
dumpster fire houses only 5 tenants with any Carlsbad affiliation out of 50 apartments and the same
homeless sleeping in the streets of the Village and in cars on Palm Avenue are still there. And he
refuses to remedy this.

I'm writing to express my objection to the City Manager Tuesday Item 5
recommendation that we revise the City Charter to remove the
requirement that the City Manager reside in Carlsbad. The reason for
residency requirements is obviously so that the person who holds the
position understands and prioritizes the needs of the residents of
Carlsbad.
I am shocked that the present City Council approved a salary for this
position that is 100K more than the salary of the President of the US. We
need new leadership on our city council. When balance is lost corruption
moves In.
