The City of Carpinteria is excited to announce the appointment of Ryan Kintz as the new Assistant City Manager, effective April 29, 2024.
Ryan comes to the City of Carpinteria after serving as the Assistant to the City Manager for the City of Goleta for the past four years. Prior to that position, he had 7 years of experience with the City of Ventura in various roles including Environmental Specialist, Management Analyst, and Interim Code Enforcement Manager.
Ryan brings a wealth of experience in municipal administration, with a proven track record of success in community development and economic sustainability. During his time with the City of Goleta, Ryan’s leadership in developing their recent sales tax measure has generated a significant amount of revenue for vital city services. He also played a pivotal role in creating a community-driven 5-Year Strategic Plan to guide Goleta’s future policy decisions. Given this, we believe Ryan will make a profound impact in the future success of the City of Carpinteria.
Though sad to see him go, Goleta City Manager Robert Nisbet expressed enthusiasm about this appointment, stating, “Ryan’s hire is an exemplary demonstration of the region’s commitment to fostering the growth of our community’s future leaders. As a former City of Carpinteria employee myself, I am particularly proud to see the hire of talented individuals like Ryan to contribute to the advancement of Carpinteria. Central Coast cities serve as breeding grounds for cultivating talent, and Ryan’s appointment underscores our shared dedication to nurturing and supporting that talent and keeping that talent in the region. Although it is hard to lose him here in Goleta, I am happy for him and I am confident that Ryan will have a positive impact in Carpinteria.”
Ryan holds a Master’s Degree from UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, along with two Bachelor’s Degrees from UCSB in Environmental Studies and Physical Geography.
“Ryan’s prior municipal experience and unique skill set align strongly with the goals and priorities of our City Council. We’re excited to add Ryan’s fresh perspective and positive energy to our team,” said City Manager Michael Ramirez. “His selection reinforces our City’s commitment to excellence in governance and service delivery.”
