About Piedmont: Your City Government

Piedmont's City government works in partnership with the community to deliver high-quality services, maintain strong finances, and plan for the future. We are committed to efficiency, transparency, and progress.

City Leadership

The City of Piedmont is governed by a five-member City Council, elected at large by the community. The City Council sets policy, adopts laws, and approves the City budget each year.

Day-to-day operations are managed by the City Administrator, who leads a team of professional Department Heads. Together, they carry out the Council's priorities and deliver services that support the community's quality of life.
