Assistant City Manager - City of Brentwood, California
Located just 55 miles east of San Francisco in Eastern Contra Costa County, the City of Brentwood sits astride two regions, the San Francisco Bay area and the Northern San Joaquin Valley (a three-county region comprised of San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Merced counties). With over 230 acres of parkland, nearly 100 parks including community, neighborhood, pocket parks and facilities, an aquatic center, senior center, and 19 miles of beautiful multi-use trails, Brentwood provides outstanding recreational opportunities to support healthy lifestyles. The city is home to the Brentwood Art Society, which sponsors events such as the annual Art, Wine, and Jazz Festival; the Artists Open Studio Tour; open mic nights; and other gatherings and shows. The Art Society is also a supporter of the Ghostlight Theater Company, which has been producing Broadway musicals and musical reviews in venues around the city since 2010. All of this is wrapped in a business-friendly city government with a supportive and progressive City Council, collaborative and cohesive executive team, and engaged community.
Incorporated in 1948, Brentwood operates under the Council/Manager form of government. The five-member City Council enjoys an effective and cooperative working relationship and includes a directly elected Mayor and four members currently elected at large.
