Welcome to the
City of La Puente

I would like to thank the City Council for giving me the honor and privilege to serve this community as its City Manager. I am looking forward to working with the City Council and the citizens in meeting the challenges that lie ahead. It is important that the City be proactive in obtaining the goals of the City Council and the citizens of this community. In that regard, staff will make the completion of the Community Center and youth learning activity center its top priority. It will be very important that City Staff put their energy into ensuring that this project be completed as soon as humanly possible.
