Encinitas City Attorney To Leave For Full-Time La Mesa Job

ENCINITAS, CA – Encinitas City Attorney Glenn Sabine is stepping down from the dais in October to take a full-time position as city attorney for the City of La Mesa.

"I'm going to miss the constant challenges and opportunities that I routinely experienced as Encinitas' city attorney, as well as the friendships and collegiality that I developed over the years with past and present city councils and staff," Sabine said in a statement.

"I am very grateful to the fine residents of Encinitas that enriched my role as city attorney with their active engagement. It has truly been my pleasure to serve and I am proud of the great city that Encinitas is today."

Sabine has served as Encinitas' part-time city attorney since January 1999.

"I've valued the institutional knowledge that City Attorney Sabine has provided while evaluating community issues and conflicts, along with Glenn's positive attitude and his results oriented approach," Mayor Catherine Blakespear said.

"He'll be missed here at the City of Encinitas. We wish him only the best in his new role in La Mesa."

Sabine's law firm, Sabine & Morrison, has served as general counsel to the San Dieguito Water District since January 1999. Sabine has indicated that he will step down from that position as well, according to the city.

A native San Diegan, Sabine holds a master's degree in city and regional planning and a law degree from Ohio State University.
