The La Mesa City Council recently appointed a 20-year-old college student, Emmett Stewart, as the interim treasurer, with no financial experience. This distinction is significant as the position is responsible for overseeing the city's financial portfolio, which is more than $900 million. In Carlsbad, candidates must be 18 years old and have a four-year college degree in either business administration, accounting, finance or economics. They also need four years of financial work experience or certification from the State Board of Accountancy, the Investments & Wealth Institute, the California Municipal Treasurers Association, or the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute. The choice of Stewart sparked debate among elected officials and community over what qualifications should be required to manage a city’s multimillion-dollar portfolio. The role of the city treasurer is limited compared to other cities in the region that elect the position.
