The City Manager is appointed by the City Council to implement the vision and policies of the City Council and provide the council with objective information and advice relating to City programs, services and projects. The Manager also serves as the City's chief administrator, supervises all City Department Directors and the Pico Rivera Sheriff's Station, is responsible for the enforcement of local laws and ordinances, prepares the City's annual budget and oversees economic development strategies.
While the City Manager does provide objective information and make recommendations to the City Council, the City Council has sole responsibility and authority to determine policy. The City Manager is bound by whatever decisions the Council makes.
The City Manager serves at the pleasure of the City Council and therefore can be fired by a majority decision of the Council, consistent with local laws, ordinances, and/or employment agreements between the City Council and the City Manager.
