Both the City of Salinas and Monterey County have solid, well-managed governments that are sensitive to the needs of citizens. The responsiveness of the local governments has ensured a positive climate for both residents and businesses.
 City of Salinas
Salinas’ charter system, adopted in 1918, allows residents to control city government structure and municipal services, producing independence in non-state matters.
The City Council consists of six members, elected by district for four-year, staggered terms on a nonpartisan basis. The mayor is elected at large and serves two years.
City Council meets on the first three Tuesdays of every month at 4:00 PM in the Council Chamber Rotunda at 200 Lincoln Avenue.

County of Monterey
Monterey County is governed by a Board of Supervisors. The supervisors, who serve four-year terms, elect a board chairperson each January. The County Administrator, Sally Reed, oversees the county staff. The sheriff, district attorney and auditor are elected independently and do not report to the Board of Supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors meets every Tuesday at 9:30 AM in their Chambers at 168 West Alisal Street, Salinas.
