City Government

The City of Yreka operates under a Council/Manager form of government. The City Council, as the legislative body, represents the entire community and formulates citywide policy.

Five Council Members are elected at large by City voters and serve staggered four-year terms. The Mayor and Mayor-Pro-tempore are selected from among the Council members and serve two-year terms.

The City Clerk and City Treasurer are also elected at large by City voters and serve four-year terms.

The City Manager is appointed by the Council and serves as the chief executive officer, responsible for day-to-day administration of City affairs and implementation of Council policies.

The City Attorney, also appointed by Council, advises and represents the City and Council in all legal affairs.

The Council meets on the first and third Thursday of each and every month beginning at 6:30 pm. With few exceptions as allowed by law, all Council meetings are open to the public.
