The City of Carlsbad's Community Services Department receives guidance and support from the City Manager's

advisory capacity from the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Senior Commission as they review issues
relative to each Commission's field of expertise.
Divisions and Programs which constitute the Community Services Department are:

Real new medians south of Faraday and at La Costa Resort, 5) Palomar Airport Road Improvements east and
