Form of Government

The City of Hesperia is a General Law City, organized under the statutes of the State of California and incorporated on July 1, 1988. Hesperia operates under the Council-Manager form of government with authority and responsibility for local legislative acts vested in the Council. The City Council establishes policies, with the City Manager enacting those policies and also having responsibility for managing the day-to-day operations.


The Mayor and City Council members are not full-time officials but devote a great amount of time preparing for and attending Council, subcommittee, regional and intergovernmental meetings as well as community events. Responsibilities require attendance during regular business hours, evenings and weekends, and Council members must also be accessible to constituents.
