Duties & Responsibilities of the City Manager

The City manager is the chief executive officer for the city and is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Board of Commissioners. He is under the direction and supervision of the governing body and is appointed without regard to his political beliefs. It is the responsibility of the City Manager to enforce the laws and ordinances of the city, control and direct officers and various departments of the city, attend all meetings of the governing body and the right to take part in the discussion, but having no vote, recommendation of measures to the governing body.

We have a Council-Manager form of Government. This form of government provides for a trained professional administrator to manage the day-to-day affairs of the city as a means to provide for the efficient, effective and ethical governance of localities.
