CITY OF TURLOCK

What CITY OF TURLOCK does

City of Turlock is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1907 and headquartered in Turlock, California, within Stanislaus County in the Central Valley. It serves a population of more than 70,000, making it the second-largest city in the county, and provides the full range of essential municipal services: water, sewer, and garbage utilities (with contracted solid waste collection via Turlock Scavenger); police and fire protection; parks, fields, and recreation facilities (more than 20 parks); animal services; housing assistance programs; neighborhood-issue intake; and urban planning and building permits.

The City operates these services through departmental divisions including Municipal Services (approximately 86 staff), Housing Program Services, Recreation, Planning, Animal Services, Police, and Fire, delivered across multiple office locations on and around 156 S. Broadway in Turlock. Citizen-facing technology is anchored on the cityofturlock.org web portal, an email-alert subscription, official Facebook and Instagram accounts, press releases, and the recently launched MyTurlock mobile app (2025), which is powered by third-party vendor GOGov and provides news, event information, service interruption alerts, and a mobile service-request channel. The technology footprint is conventional civic infrastructure — utility billing systems, water quality control, and a vendor-provided mobile engagement platform — with no proprietary AI/ML components disclosed.

Funding comes from a mix of utility service fees (usage-based billing for water, sewer, and garbage), property taxes, sales taxes, and intergovernmental revenue including Measure A transactions and use tax. The City operates multiple revenue-generating programs including a Development Incentive Program (25% reduction in Capital Facilities Fees for eligible commercial/industrial projects), an SB 1383 organic waste and edible food recovery program with food-recovery partners Westside Ministries and United Samaritans Foundation, housing rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer assistance, and a citywide ADA Transition Plan. The City is currently responding to a legal filing by the California Attorney General concerning its Housing Element.
