Desirable communities, such as Temecula, possess a wide range of housing opportunities, quality schools, efficient transportation networks, parks and accessible open space, a variety of shopping and entertainment opportunities, cultural arts, accessibility to high speed telecommunications, excellent healthcare, and institutions of higher learning. Temecula’s residents have expressed a strong desire to be able to live and work in Temecula, and to have more diverse and well-paying jobs available. They also want their children to be able to find meaningful work and affordable housing so they too can live and work in Temecula as they become young adults. Echoing residents’ concern for their children’s future job opportunities, the Blue Ribbon Committee highlighted the need to foster the Career Technical Education (CTE) system in the community. Temecula was fortunate that Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) acquired the former Abbott office campus. The new MSJC Temecula campus has further expansion potential and opportunities to merge CTE curriculums at the high schools with MSJC programs to provide local students the opportunities to train for vocational jobs in Temecula. Further coordination with CSU San Marcos will also help to extend these workforce training and education opportunities to the four year degree level. The City is especially interested in fostering entrepreneurial opportunities. The Temecula Valley Entrepreneur’s Exchange (TVE2) is a business incubator and regional resource center managed by the City’s Economic Development Division that fosters business growth and economic vitality for entrepreneurs and early stage companies by providing access to low cost commercial space, technology, high quality resources, and leveraging a strong network of community partners located at the TVE2, including the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the Economic Development Coalition (EDC), and Riverside County Workforce Development. Residents closely associate the presence of independent, locally-owned businesses with the City’s cherished small town atmosphere and the TVE2 is actively supporting new start-up small businesses to succeed in Temecula. Temecula features a number of strong business sectors that offer a wide range of job opportunities, as well as help to support City revenues and high quality services.

CCMF selected Mr. Adams as this year’s recipient in recognition of his distinguished career and lasting impact on the city of Temecula and the city management profession.   “Aaron is a respected leader within the profession and currently serves as a member of the CCMF Board, where he continues to support and mentor fellow city managers across the state,” said CCMF President Ken Striplin. “Aaron, thank you for your outstanding leadership and your lasting contributions to city management. Congratulations!”   Temecula Mayor Jessica Alexander added, “This notable award highlights Aaron Adams’ unwavering commitment to excellence in public service to our great City, and recognizes his outstanding leadership in guiding Temecula’s growth and vibrancy over many years. I deeply respect Aaron’s personal and professional dedication to the City of Temecula.”   Mr. Adams’ career with the City of Temecula began over 30 years ago. Initially hired as an intern, he was promoted through various management and executive roles within the city before being appointed city manager in 2012. Under his leadership, and that of the city council, Temecula has achieved significant milestones, including the early payoff of City Hall, accomplishing zero facility debt across the city, and other debt payoffs that will save the city roughly $47M. This proactive planning for the City’s short- and long-term fiscal health provides a strong budget that supports Mr. Adams’ lifetime career commitment to ‘building greatness, maintaining excellence,’ focusing on continuously enhancing the city’s infrastructure, addressing resident priorities and improving municipal services to ensure a high quality of life for Temecula residents, businesses and visitors. “I would like to express my sincere thanks to CCMF and CCMF leadership for this award. I am sincerely honored and humbled to be recognized by my peers,” said Mr. Adams. “I share this award with the Temecula City Council and the entire amazing, talented and dedicated team of staff at the City of Temecula.”   CCMF Executive Director Ken Pulskamp said, “Aaron exemplifies the integrity, dedication to public service and work ethic of what every city manager should strive to become.” For more information about CCMF, please visit CACityManagers.org .

FPPC Regulations 18944 and 18950.1 provide a procedure that agencies may use to disclose these payments, which may include a payment for an official’s travel expenses for the purpose of facilitating the public’s business in lieu of using agency funds; and a payment that would otherwise be considered a gift or income to the benefiting official, but is instead accepted on behalf of the agency.   Link to Form 801 (Gift to Agency Report) Form 802 Complimentary Ticket Policy, Form 802 Resolution and Complimentary Ticket Policy Link to Form 802 Form 803 Behested Payment Report, Form 803 Under California’s transparency laws, an elected official who fundraises or otherwise solicits payments from one individual or organization to be given to another individual or organization may be required to report the payment. Generally, a payment is considered "behested" and subject to reporting if: it is made at the request, suggestion, or solicitation of, or made in cooperation, consultation, coordination or concert with the public official; it is made for a legislative, governmental or charitable purpose; and it does not qualify as a gift (made for personal purposes), or a contribution (made for election-related activity) to the elected official. While state law limits the amount of gifts and campaign contributions an official may receive, there are no limits on behested payments. However, state law requires the reporting of behested payments if they total $5,000 or more per calendar year from a single source. Link to Form 803 Form 806 Public Official Appointments, Form 806   An official may vote to hold another position even if the voting official will receive additional income so long as the public is informed prior to the vote or consent item. FPPC Regulation 18702.5 provides for the filing of a Form 806 under these circumstances. Each agency must post on its website a single Form 806 which lists all the paid appointed positions to which an official will vote to appoint themselves. When there is a change in compensation or a new appointment, the Form 806 is updated to reflect the change. The form must be updated promptly as changes occur.       Link to Form 806 --> Contact Us Employment Agendas Temecula general plan update Ch3 & Live Meetings election information More...

In 2011, he launched Temecula Bike Train. This organization began as a desire for a program that educated families about cycling and empowered them to choose a bicycle for transportation. Temecula Bike Train started with Paloma Elementary and has grown to include programs at Barnett Elementary and Temecula Elementary. Over the years Zak has partnered with the City of Temecula, The Bike Shop Temecula, and various other agencies and groups to provide education and insight into safely biking to school and work. With the support of many dedicated and knowledgeable community members, Temecula Bike Train has been able to donate more than 50 new and used bikes to children and adults in Temecula.  Having started a family in Temecula, Zak is aware of the impact a safe and positive environment has on families. Through his work within the community, Zak sees firsthand the benefits families gain from parks, community theater, museums, classes, and activities offered by the City of Temecula. As a Council Member, Zak will focus on the positive quality of life and family values that make Temecula an exceptional place to live, work, and play.
