Public Figure Overview

Public Official: Tracy Jarman

Tracy Jarman has been the fire chief for the city of San Diego since June 26, 2006. She served as a fire fighter since 1984. She obtained a Fire Science degree from Mirmar College and a Masters in public administration from San Diego State University.

She is widely known as a public official and does much of the needed speaking on behalf of the fire departments in San Diego. She is the first female fire chief in San Diego and one of only two dozen in the US at all.

She’s worked in the department for 22 years and was considering retiring when the position for chief opened up and changed her mind. She heads up the second largest department in the country run by a woman.

She lives with her domestic partner, Marcia Bonini, in Del Mar.

LUNOW VS CITY OF SAN DIEGO --- is the only case filed against San Diego Fire Department during Jarman’s time there, done on July 27, 2007, one month after Tracy Jarman was appointed. GIC870009

No property was shown under the name Tracy Jarman, but 6 listings came up under Marcia Bonini; one trust deed, three reconveyances and two quitclaim deeds.

After searching through all the data bases provided for me this is all that I could find. I came to the conclusion that though Tracy Jarman is a high profile official she leads a very low key private life and does not have very much information that is on public record. My sources have been as listed below. I searched the first three sites before utilizing the record data bases given to me in class.
