City Manager David Brandt Announces Retirement
CUPERTINO, CA - City Manager David Brandt has announced his intent to retire this
summer. His last day with the City of Cupertino will be July 6, 2018.
Brandt has served as City Manager for the City of Cupertino since September 15, 2012. He
has a Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a
Master of Arts degree in Urban Planning from the University of Michigan. He has also
received his juris doctorate from the University of Wisconsin.
Brandt practiced land-use law in Oakland with a private firm before working for the City of
Alameda for 10 years. He served as City Manager in Redmond, Oregon, immediately prior to
coming to Cupertino.
“I’m gratified to leave the City of Cupertino in a strong financial position,” Brandt said. “I’m
also satisfied that the City was able to heavily invest in its infrastructure and expand its
services to the community during my tenure. With the impending full occupation of Apple
Park, it’s an exciting time to be in Cupertino.
“It’s also been a pleasure to work with an exceptional staff,” he added, “and I’ve enjoyed my
relationships with current and former Councilmembers.”
“Cupertino is in a better place today than it was when David was hired,” Mayor Darcy Paul
said. “That is a good touchstone by which one can assess a City Manager’s impact. David did
an excellent job for the community, and he will be missed. We wish him all the best in future
endeavors.”
The City Manager is responsible to the City Council for the effective and efficient operation
of the City. Under the direction of the City Council as a whole, the City Manager carries out
the City's adopted goals and objectives. The City Manager also oversees operations for the
City, including all City departments.
