The City was incorporated in 1898 as a general law city and operates as a Council/Manager form of government. The four City Council members are elected at large for four-year terms with elections staggered at two-year intervals. The Mayor is elected at-large for a two-year term. The City Council appoints the City Manager to manage the City’s staff and implement the policies established by the Council. The City encompasses approximately 9 square miles. The name Azusa can be traced to a native village that existed long before Spanish explorers arrived in 1769. The City boomed in population after the arrival of the railroad and was known as the “El Susa Rancho”. The discovery of gold in the San Gabriel Canyon increased the population base in 1854, and by 1860 over 2,000 inhabitants resided in the area. The U.S. government bought a portion of the land from founder Henry Dalton for homesteading purposes. However, it was not until Los Angeles banker, Jonathan D. Slauson acquired the prized orchard community of Azusa Rancho that the foundation and eventual incorporation on December 29, 1898 took place. Orange and lemon groves covered the land and gave way to homes and industry affording new generations of families and entrepreneurs to pursue the American dream. Today, the city prides itself on a vibrant industrial base and diverse neighborhoods. Industry within Azusa is diversified with major employers encompassing the fields of education, aerospace industry, light manufacturing, and retail services. A2 The City owns and operates an electric public utility for its citizens providing electric services to customers within the City limits. The City also owns and operates a water system whose service territory includes the City and adjoining portions of neighboring cities and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

The amortization schedule for principal and interest payments resembles mortgage payments, in that principal payments typically increase, while interest payments decrease over the life of the debt. All bonded indebtedness is administered by trustees as designated in the debt’s Official Statement. Debt service payments and related administrative fees are budgeted in the Azusa Public Financing Authority and transfers are made from the respective funds such as sewer and CFDs. This is due to the fact that the APFA issued the debt. The Azusa Redevelopment Agency has also issued long term debt.
