Incorporated in January 19, 1959, the City of Walnut is a general law city. Operated under the City Council-City Manager form of government, the five Council member's are elected at large to four-year terms. Every twelve months, they select one of their members to serve as Mayor and another as Mayor Pro Tempore.
The City Council appoints a City Manager to direct and coordinate administrative functions of the City.
As a "contract city," Walnut receives numerous municipal services from the County of Los Angeles or private firms through contracts or special agreements. To assure cost effective services, the City maintains in-house Administration, Finance, Recreation, and Parks Maintenance Departments.
