== Government == === Local Government === The City Council of Temple City has five members. They are each elected by citizens for four-year term and at-large instead of geographical district. The City Council elections are held during the California Primary election starting with the 2020 election. As a legislative body, it is the duty of the council to make the laws and establish policy. In March, the city council appoints one of its members to act as Mayor and one as Mayor Pro Tempore for a 1-year term. The Mayor presides over the council meetings and represents the city at civic functions. The Mayor Pro Tempore serves in the mayor's absence.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.usmayors.org/elections/election-results/ |title=2020 Elections Results by State |website=usmayors.org |date=2020 |access-date=July 31, 2020}}(Note: Temple City appoints mayor in March)</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.templecityphotos.com/facts.html |title=Facts and Figures -
