Government

The City Council is the elected legislative body of the City. It's members make decisions for the community through its authorized power as the official governing body. Voters approved to establish a council/manager form of government in 2005. The council/manager form of government combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a council, with the managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. A representative system of government is established where all power is concentrated in the elected council and where the council hires a professionally trained manager to oversee the delivery of public services.
