City Manager's Message

Working in City government is exciting, challenging, and rewarding. I feel fortunate to be part of an organization that affects people's lives in very real, positive ways.

The issues are sometimes difficult, often complex, and absolutely vital. We deal with people's economic well-being and personal safety, with land use and transportation, housing, recreation, and social services.

Now more than ever, our City government needs smart, dedicated, proactive people working together to sustain and improve our community. We sincerely welcome your interest in the City of Fremont.
