City Government

The City of Madera Local Government exists to serve its people. Through thoughtful leadership, transparent decision-making, and a focus on community wellbeing, Madera’s city government works every day to create a safe, vibrant, and inclusive place to live, work, and grow.

Our local government is structured to ensure accountability, accessibility, and representation. The City Council, made up of elected officials from across the community, sets the vision and policy direction for the city. Their work is guided by the voices and needs of the people they represent.

Supporting this leadership is a team of dedicated professionals across every department, from public works and parks to planning, finance, and community development. Together, they carry out the day-to-day operations that keep Madera running and respond to the evolving needs of our residents.

The City is committed to open communication, ethical governance, and continuous improvement. We value public input, encourage civic participation, and work hard to make services and information easy to access. Whether you are attending a council meeting, applying for a permit, or exploring our budget and plans, you deserve a government that is clear, responsive, and centered on community.

City Hall is more than a building. It is a symbol of public trust and a hub for collaboration. Here, residents and staff come together to solve problems, share ideas, and shape the future of Madera.
