Departments
The City Administrator is appointed by the Mayor and charged with the daily operations of the City.
The City of Ephrata is structured in various Departments to specialize in areas critical to serving the needs of the public. Our Department Heads work hard to ensure that we are providing the best service possible while being fiscally responsible. Any formal summons or notice can be addressed to them. A department head is authorized to accept such service on behalf of the City.
