The City of Norco is governed by a council/manager form of government. The council/manager plan is the system of government which optimizes the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of the council with the professional expertise of the local government manager. Working cooperatively, the City Council and City Administration strive to meet identified community needs, which include improving our rural lifestyle, strengthening our local economy and maintaining a safe and healthy environment.

The City Manager is appointed by the City Council and is the chief executive officer of the City. She/he is responsible for the overall administration of the City organization and for administering programs and policies adopted by the City Council. The City Manager's Office develops a recommended annual budget which identifies the program and service needs of the City and their related financial, personnel and capital improvements. The City Manager also serves as the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency.

The City Manager appoints all Department Heads to assist in coordinating the City's administrative activities. She/he is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of City departments, including City Clerk, Economic Development, Fire, Fiscal & Support Services, Parks, Recreation & Community Services, Planning Division, Public Works and the Redevelopment Agency, as well as overseeing the contract for police services provided by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
