The City
We have a supportive Mayor, City Council, City Manager, staff, and community.

McMinnville is a full-service city with approximately 325 employees providing a broad range of public services including police; municipal court; wastewater treatment; street maintenance; engineering and planning; building permitting and inspection; parks, recreational and cultural activities; a library, and a municipal airport.
McMinnville is an easy-going, forward thinking city nestled in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The American Planning Association has recognized our historic downtown as one of its prestigious Great Streets in America. McMinnville's central location means our nearly 35,000 residents aren't far from the scenic Oregon Coast, our State Capitol, the "Big City" of Portland, or the slopes of Mt. Hood. Home to world-class pinot noir and other varietals, McMinnville attracts winemakers and food and wine tourists from around the globe. Whether it's a glass of wine or a cup of coffee on our beloved Third Street or a bike ride through the Willamette Valley, there is always something fun to do in McMinnville.
There is an abundance of opportunities for families of all types in McMinnville. Our school district boasts a high school graduation rate of over 90%, and there are plenty of opportunities for higher education at Chemeketa Community College or Linfield University, one of the nation's most respected small universities. Childcare is available at a variety of privately managed daycare and preschool centers throughout the area. Our city also offers plenty of senior services through Yamhill County, NorthWest Senior & Disability Services, and our own McMinnville Senior Center.
