Since incorporation, Santa Clarita has won annual awards for its strong fiscal management and investments. The City's growth in sales tax revenue, outside grant funding and a "good business budget" have helped to keep Santa Clarita a strong city. "We've worked hard to be fiscally smart and continue the trend of higher revenues to expenditures, with a continued growth in our reserves," explains Mayor and Councilmember Cameron Smyth about the City's annual budget.

There are five city councilmembers elected at large to four year overlapping terms. City elections are held every two years. Residents of the City who are 18 years and older are encouraged to seek election to the Council or appointment to a commission or committee.
"We encourage residents to get involved in their City, to participate by joining a committee or applying for a commission appointment or even by speaking at a City Council meeting," explains Councilmember Marsha McLean.
Santa Clarita opened its first new park in 1989 in Canyon Country. The 17-acre Canyon Country park was the first of many new facilities and amenities built by the City. Others include Begonias Lane Park, Creekview Park, Circle J Ranch Park, Central Park, Pamplico Park, the Newhall Community Center, the Santa Clarita Sports Complex, including a skate park, activities center, gymnasium and aquatics center, 14 miles of off-street trails, three Metrolink stations, new landscaped medians, new roads, and more.
"Bringing more parks on line, adding recreation programs and new trails that residents want is one of the best things to come from cityhood," said Councilmember Laurene Weste.
