Members of the Parks & Recreation Commission are subject to the provisions of the California Political Reform Act and must file statements of economic interest each year and complete two hours of ethics training every two years.

The name of the incumbent appointee, 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.

Following the appointment of five members to the Parks & Recreation Commission, the City Clerk’s Office will update the commission roster and coordinate their oaths of office and the filing of appointees’ statements of economic interest and ethics training certificates.

Hi Tammy and Kyle,
I have to sadly withdraw my application for Parks and Rec Commissioner. Our landlord gave us notice that she has decided to move back in and it is looking increasingly challenging for us to stay in Carlsbad and specifically District 1 (though we are still looking). Although the move won't likely happen until the end of February, I don't want to waste the time of the Council and would prefer to give someone else the opportunity to serve a complete term.

It has truly been a wonderful experience and a privilege to volunteer and serve the City of Carlsbad. I know the City and the Parks and Rec staff will continue to do great things to continue making Carlsbad a wonderful place to live and visit.

Best,
Marissa

My desire to continue to serve on the Parks and Recreation Commission Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
Mayor Hall nominated me and I received unanimous support from the City Council to be appointed to the Parks and Recreation Commission in December, 2021. I have attended all the meetings since without any abser:ices and I am always prepared and anxious to participate. My initial term was just one year. I am again a finalist, this time to be reappointed to the Commission.

I think Chair Luna and Director Lancaster would agree that I have been a productive and engaged Commissioner.

It is my strong desire to continue my service and I respectfully ask that you reappoint me to serve another full term on the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Thank you,
Bob Winston

Dear Mayor Blackburn and City Council,
I am honored to be chosen as a finalist to serve on the Parks & Recreation Commission. I feel that my background in journalism, public relations and world class theme parks and attractions as well as my recent experience on the Carlsbad Library Board of Trustees and service as an alternate Growth Management Citizens Committee member brings a unique perspective to Parks & Recreation.

Early in my career I helped successfully introduce and act as media spokesperson for the Great America theme parks in the Chicago and San Francisco Bay Areas. I also helped promote and publicize Expo 86, the World's Fair in Vancouver. These experiences underscored the importance of cleanliness, safety, maintenance, accessibility, public input, communications and value that goes into a successful park experience.

My training and experience in journalism and public relations has helped guide me in raising questions that often reflect what the public and media wishes to know about the operation and performance of an organization, a company or a service.

In addition, my Carlsbad commissions experience has taught me the high value our citizens place on their libraries, parks and recreational activities. They are highly valued jewels in Carlsbad's crown and I welcome the opportunity to serve as a conduit between our citizens and those who manage and operate the parks and activities we treasure.

I realize time is short and I would have preferred to meet with each of you prior to the vote. While this is probably not feasible I plan to attend the January 10 City Council Meeting and would welcome any questions you may have for me at that time.

Thanks again for your kind consideration.

Sincerely,
Art Larson
