Meet Your Team
This is a series of articles intended to introduce to the community key members of the City’s Team of employees who serve Lafayette’s residents through their respective positions and areas of expertise.
Lafayette, Calif. — Tracy Robinson has worked for the City of Lafayette for 24 years. As the City’s Administrative Services Director, she oversees Finance, Human Resources, Risk Management, Information Technology, and Property Management duties while also supervising the City’s public outreach and budget.
“I grew up in the Bay Area,” says Robinson, “and Lafayette was a ‘dream’ destination for me—beautiful, upscale, and extremely charming. It has always felt to me like an oasis in the urban landscape, and I wanted to be part of that environment.”
Asked what a typical day at work is like, she responds that there is no typical day, which is why she likes working here so much. Her busiest time on the job is budget season, when she says she’s “…knee-deep in spreadsheets.” She also often gets random assignments that don’t “fit” anywhere else and fills in for the City Manager when she is away. You might run into her making the loop around the Lafayette Reservoir during her lunch break.
