CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE

Welcome to the City of San Fernando! Thank you for visiting us at our website. It was designed with you in mind – whether a resident, a business or a visitor – to allow you access to City information in an easy to navigate site.
 

At City Hall, we are very proud of our community and strive to provide superior customer service. Quality of life issues shape our goals and policy initiatives as we look to continuously improve our city and community.

Please feel free to call me at (818) 898-1202 with any concerns you may have, or just to say hello. I’m interested in your opinions about city government and how we may better serve you.

If you are a resident, I look forward to meeting you. If you are a visitor, on behalf of all of us at City Hall, we look forward to welcoming you to San Fernando on your next visit.

San Fernando operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The Council-Manager form is a system of local government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a council or other governing body, with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. Other appointed officers are the City Attorney and City Clerk.

The City Manager serves as Chief Executive Officer of the City and the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency. He serves as an advisor to the City Council on policy items impacting the community and the City organization. The City Manager appoints the City’s department heads and is responsible for ensuring that city services are performed to the highest standard in accordance with Council policies. The City Manager is responsible for the submission of the City’s budget and implementation in support of City Council goals.
