Group to Be Recognized at May 6th Goleta City Council Meeting
The work performed by a City Clerks Division is unlike any other job in the United States, which is why we hope you will join us in recognizing our terrific City Clerks group during Professional Municipal Clerks Week (May 4 – 10, 2025.) There are many ways you can show your appreciation. Join us for the Goleta City Council meeting on May 6th at 5:30 p.m. and show your support when the Mayor presents the group with a Proclamation recognizing Municipal Clerks Week. You can also take a moment and send an email of gratitude to cityclerksgroup@cityofgoleta.org.
Mayor Paula Perotte said, “Our City Clerks Team is the really the glue that keeps our City running smoothly. I am continually amazed at the work demonstrated by our talented team each day. Please take a moment to thank them for all they do.”
Goleta’s City Clerk Division is comprised of 22-year veteran City Clerk Deborah Lopez, Deputy City Clerk David Cutaia, Planning Commission Clerk Nicholas Norman and Management Analyst Blake Markum.
Here are just some of the City Clerks Division responsibilities:

This includes maintaining a complete and accurate record of City Council proceedings and official City files as well as overseeing all ordinances, resolutions, proclamations, written contracts, official bonds and public records requests.
- The Division is also responsible for overseeing the City’s seven Council-appointed Boards and Commissions. The Division also oversees 11 Committees.
- The Division serves as the election official for the City of Goleta and oversaw the process for the City’s historic move to District Elections in 2022. Learn more about the City Clerk Division go to cityofgoleta.org/your-city/city-clerk.
