San Marcos City Manager Bert Lumbreras announced his retirement, effective Jan. 31, 2022.
Lumbreras informed the San Marcos City Council on Tuesday of his intent to retire from the position. In a letter to Mayor Jane Hughson and the city council, Lumbreras stated that he’d been planning his retirement for almost two years, “with goal to leave when I am ready to begin my next adventure and a decision strictly driven by when I was able to take this important step in my life.”
“This is all I have done, have always wanted to do, have had fun doing it, but it is now time for me to do extensive traveling, take on new hobbies and volunteer,” Lumbreras wrote. “I look forward to spending time with my three grandsons and one granddaughter, three of the best kids any dad could have, and, above all, my best friend and wonderful wife of 38 years who has been by my side every step of the way.”
