Executive Summary/Explanation & Analysis
The City Council is required by Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.04.090 to select a Mayor Pro Tempore
after a general municipal election. Although the Municipal Code only requires that the selection of Mayor
Pro Tempore take place following a general municipal election, it has been the City Council’s practice to
consider the appointment annually.
This council member, nominated by the Mayor and approved by a vote of the council, temporarily serves as
the Mayor if the Mayor is absent or unable to act.

Staff Report
California Water Code Section 71273 also requires that the Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board of
Directors select board members to serve as President of the Board and Vice President of the Board.
Historically, the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore have served as President and Vice President of the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District Board of Directors.
In addition, in keeping with Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.04.100 and California Government Code
Section 40605, part of the City Council’s reorganization includes meeting for the purpose of appointing
individual members of the City Council to committees or other bodies as the council may find necessary for
its reorganization and effective functioning. This includes the City Council’s regional committee and
subcommittee assignments.
Exhibit 10 is a list of the City Council regional committee assignments, as confirmed by the City Council in
February and March 2023. The list does not include those committees on which various City Council
members serve as a result of their appointments by other agencies.
It should be noted that if an appointment to a particular assignment is not made, the existing appointee
will continue to serve until a replacement is selected.
Fiscal Analysis
The recommended action has no fiscal impact.
Next Steps
The City Clerk will update the city’s website and City Council meeting agenda template to reflect the new
committee assignments.
Environmental Evaluation
This action does not require environmental review because it does not constitute a project within the
meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act under California Public Resources Code Section 21065
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.
