About Us

Parlier is a general law City governed by a five-member City Council and operates under the City Council-City Manager form of government. Four council members are elected by their respective district and the Mayor is elected at large. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council.

Council members are the leaders and policy makers elected to represent various segments of the community and to concentrate on policy issues that are responsive to citizens' needs and wishes. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council to carry out policy and ensure that the entire community is being served.

Parlier City Manager, Lou Martinez, handles the City's day-to-day business with an "open-door policy" to community residents and businesses, where comments, concerns and suggestions are always welcome.
