Mountain View announced this week that it has picked a new Deputy City Manager from within its own ranks. Assistant Community Development Director Lindsay Hagan will start the new position on Oct. 12, according to a city press release.
In the City Manager’s Office, Hagan will join Deputy City Manager Kimberly Thomas who oversees the Human Services division and Mountain View’s homelessness initiatives. Hagan’s position is a newly created one and will focus on special projects and land use issues, city spokesperson Lenka Wright told the Voice in an email.
The organizational hierarchy of the City Manager’s Office includes two assistant city managers, Arn Andrews and Audrey Seymour, who sit above the deputy city managers and report to City Manager Kimbra McCarthy, according to the city website. The deputy city managers report to the assistant city managers.
Hagan has more than 18 years of community development and planning experience, including 15 years working for the city of Mountain View, according to the press release. Before taking on the role of assistant community development director in 2022, Hagan was the city’s deputy zoning administrator. She started her career in local government as a planning intern for Mountain View in 2009.
“I am pleased to promote [Hagan] to this dynamic new leadership role, given her experience working on high-profile projects for the city of Mountain View and professional advancement over the years,” McCarthy said in the press release. “In this new position, she will have more opportunities to work on citywide projects.”
These projects are expected to include representing Mountain View in major land use and other contract negotiations, “supporting labor relations,” assisting with City Council strategic priority and work plan processes, and leading downtown initiatives, according to the press release.
Other responsibilities include developing a potential tax measure for the 2028 ballot and collaborating with departments on infrastructure, transportation and land management system projects, the press release said.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to expand my role with the City and the greater impact it will allow me to have on Mountain View’s future,” Hagan said in the press release. “I am especially excited to work on a range of projects that will have meaningful impacts on residents and businesses alike while helping advance the city organization’s continued success.”
As assistant community development director, Hagan developed and managed a $20.5 million department budget and worked on city projects. She managed the adoption of the Google Middlefield Park Master Plan, which included Google giving the city $200 million in benefits, according to the press release. Since then, Google has indicated that it plans to sell off the Middlefield Park property.
Other projects Hagan worked on include the city’s master fee updates, website redesign for development permits and the City Council 2025-2027 work plan process, the press release said.
Hagan holds a master’s degree in planning from the University of Southern California and a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Occidental College, according to the press release.
