Dublin City Manager Linda Smith has announced plans to retire from the City of Dublin in October of this year after a distinguished 15-plus year career with the City. Smith has served as the City Manager for nearly five years, successfully leading the organization during the pandemic and the subsequent period of growth and transformation. Smith became City Manager in December 2019 and was on the job for 75 days before the start of pandemic. During that time, she led both the City of Dublin and served as the Chair of the Alameda County City Manager’s Association, where she helped to spearhead efforts with the Public Health Officer regarding closures and restrictions. Smith led the City’s economic recovery efforts during the pandemic, including efforts to support businesses and help them pivot during the closures. She facilitated the creation of several programs, resulting in $2.68 million being provided to the community to support local businesses and residents in need. “Working for the City has been an honor and privilege over these last 15 years. This community, even during its stages of growth, has kept its connectivity and small-town character,” said Smith. “I am so proud of the team we have here serving this community and I know that the great work will continue on behalf of the residents and businesses.” As the City’s chief executive, Smith provided solid fiscal stewardship and led major efforts to promote affordability in the community. During her five years as City Manager, the City amassed a $120 million surplus that was used to fund key capital projects and bolster the City’s reserve funds. She also worked to gain approval of more than 730 units of affordable housing. Full press release: https://bit.ly/3xUUb0Y

As we wrap up National Public Works Week, we’re excited to spotlight our most important transportation project: the Dublin Boulevard Extension. This long-planned extension will create a crucial link between neighboring cities, enhancing transportation infrastructure and improving neighborhood access for local residents. You may have seen members of our Public Works and Communications teams discussing the project back in March at the St. Patrick’s Day Celebration, alongside engineers from BKF Engineers. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and showed interest! Our Public Works Department consists of dedicated individuals committed to enhancing the quality of life for all Dublin residents through a variety of essential duties. We could easily dedicate an entire month to showcasing their great work, but for now, we’ll conclude here.
