City Administrator

The city manager/administrator is appointed by council and is responsible for overseeing all the city’s operations on a continuing basis and for reporting to the council on behalf of the various departments. The city manager/administrator is the highest link in the chain of command for staff and acts as the liaison between staff and council, boards, or committees. All delegation of responsibilities from council will go through the city manager/administrator and vice versa. Centralizing council’s authority and accountability will simplify the council’s job.
