With a 32-year career of dedicated service as a Burbank firefighter, Vice Mayor Jess Talamantes brings a powerful new perspective to the Burbank City Council.
Jess was elected to council in 2009, but his community involvement has always been strong. While he spent many years on the frontlines in public safety, he also passionately worked the sidelines as a coach to Burbank’s young athletes. His attention to youth programs and commitment to their success continues to this day.
Jess has served on numerous committees including the Jordan Middle School/Burbank High/John Burroughs High Oversight Committee, Traffic Infrastructure Subcommittee, Youth Task Force and as liaison to the Valley Economic Alliance. He is currently serving on the L.A. County Commission on Local Governmental Services.
He is past chair of the Park, Recreation, and Community Services Board and Youth Endowment Services Fund Committee. He also served as liaison to the Senior Citizen Board and Burbank Athletic Federation.
A Burbank resident since 1962, Jess is a graduate of John Burroughs High School. He earned his B.S. in Fire Protection Administration and Technology from California State University at Los Angeles.
He is married to Sandy and they have three grown children – Eric, Scott and Kristin.
“Burbank is an extraordinary community with a loyal and dedicated citizenry. I am proud to give back to the City that has enriched my life and the lives of my family.”
-Vice Mayor Jess Talamantes
