residents annually, and it has done so for the past 20 years. According to last year’s poll, 97 percent of respondents rated the quality of life excellent or good and 88 percent were satisfied with city services. “Three out of every four residents have confidence in city government to positively impact our quality of life,” he said. “But as a city, we’re not resting on our laurels. Some scores have dropped in recent years.” One area was traffic and roads, Hall said. Most complaints were tied to work being done simultaneously to install pipes for the desalination plant and repair El Camino Real between Cannon Road and Chestnut Avenue. Hall said that work has been completed and city engineers are working on ways to better coordinate those types of situations in the future. The State of the City luncheon is hosted by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce “to bring people together to let them know what’s happening in the city,” Toni Padron, the organization’s chief operation officer, said. “We do it for the city to show the partnership between the city and the chamber,” she said. Also during the event, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa received the Spirit of Enterprise Award for voting 70 percent of the time in support of business legislation and issues. “Before coming to Congress I was an entrepreneur and understand the challenges companies face in building their dream,” he said. “That’s why I’ve always worked hard to advance policies that allow small businesses, startups and other innovative new companies to expand and create jobs.” Issa thanked the chamber for recognizing his efforts “to expand economic opportunity for all.” “We must take advantage of this historic opportu-
nity to deliver on tax reform so we can increase wages, spur investment, grow our economy and allow Americans to keep more of what they earn,” he added. La Costa Glen received the Commitment to Emergency Preparedness Award from the Ready Carlsbad Business Alliance.

Additionally, Hall credited urban design, with parks, libraries, bike paths and walking trails strategically located in neighborhoods, citizen engagement, volunteerism and philanthropy and proximity to high-quality health care and education as reasons for Carlsbad’s continued success. Rounding out the list were safety and an annual survey to gauge resident satisfaction. Hall said the police and fire departments have multiple resources to provide high-level service, such as the safety training center for first responders, advanced technology and the recently purchased automated license plate reader that lets law enforcement know when wanted criminals are in the city. “Our message is clear,” he said. “Don’t come to Carlsbad to practice your trade. Three weeks ago, Business Insider, an online business publication, named Carlsbad the seventh safest city in the country and the third safest in the state.” Another new addition for public safety is an advanced communications and command vehicle that allows seamless emergency services coordination in the field for events such as the 2014 Poinsettia Fire. Hall said Carlsbad is one of the few cities that surveys
