December 31 of each year the legislative body shall prepare a Local Appointments List which
contains the appointive terms of Board and Commission members which will expire in the next
calendar year. The name of the incumbent appointee and the date of appointment and the term
expiration date is also included on the list. Based on the prepared list, the City Clerk's office
accepts applications (available on the City's website and in the City Clerk's office) for any
upcoming vacancies.
City of Carlsbad Municipal Code 2.28 states that the Traffic Safety Commission shall consist of
five members, appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council. Therefore, two
positions need to be filled.
