The City of Vista is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Morris B. Vance, a dedicated public servant whose contributions to the community have left an indelible legacy. Mayor Vance, who served as both Vista’s City Manager and Mayor, passed away yesterday after a life devoted to improving the city he loved and the lives of its residents. ? Mayor Vance’s remarkable career spanned more than four decades, including 30 years of service to the Vista community. His leadership and vision have shaped Vista into the thriving city it is today.

He subsequently took on the role of Assistant City Manager in Carson, followed by serving as City Manager for Lomita, before becoming City Manager in Vista in 1981, a position he maintained for 17 transformative years. As City Manager, he oversaw numerous projects that revitalized the city, including: ? ·?The formation of the Vista Redevelopment Agency. · Development of the Vista Business Park and Industrial Park, now home to more than 800 businesses. · Construction of key infrastructure, including the Vista Village overpass and widening of State Route 78. · Building community assets such as the Vista Library, Senior Nutrition Center, Wave Waterpark, and several fire stations. After his tenure as City Manager, Vance continued to serve Vista as its Mayor, elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2006. As Mayor, he championed significant community initiatives, including the A.S.K. Vista program, which fostered dialogue between city officials and residents.
