How will the charter help save the City of Carlsbad money?
Charter cities have greater flexibility when it comes to contracting and purchasing of many items and projects. This process mandated by the state can be expensive and can delay projects from moving forward. The longer it takes for projects to move forward, the more expensive projects typically get because of rising costs for supplies.
