City Manager's Office
As the administrative head of city government,
the City Manager is appointed by the City Council to enforce
municipal laws, direct daily operations of the City, make recommendations
to the Council, prepare and observe the municipal budget, appoint
and supervise all City department heads and employees, and
supervise the operation of all City departments. The City Manager
is responsible for implementing policies adopted by the City
Council; for preparing and submitting the annual budget and
for administering the day-to-day operations of the City. Like
most cities in California, Rancho Cucamonga is a general law
city run under the "Council-Manager" form of government.
A general law city is one which operates under laws and rules
established by the State of California. The "Council-Manager" form
establishes a method of governance, which allows for democratic
participation, representation through City Council, professional
implementation and efficient operation that comes from a full
time professional manager. We encourage you to fill out a customer
