The City Manager form of government grew out of political reform movements to facilitate a system of local government which combines strong political leadership of elected officials with the strong managerial experience of a professional local government administrator.
The goal of the City Manager's office is to provide professional administrative assistance to the City Council in establishing the policies, programs, and services to be offered to the community.
The City Manager is appointed by the City Council to serve as the Chief Administrative Officer of the organization. The City Manager's Office coordinates the fulfillment of policy and programs established by the City Council. The City Manager provides overall direction to departments that administer City programs and services; implements inter-departmental programs for human resources, strategic planning, and emergency preparedness; and coordinates intergovernmental relations, lobbying, economic development, and public information efforts. The City Manager's Office also oversees projects such as property acquisitions, and special studies such as annexation and development impact fees.
To fulfill these duties, the City Manager is aided by the Assistant City Manager, the Deputy City Manager, an organization of 9 City departments, and the talent and skills of approximately 170 City employees. These departments and employees are under the immediate supervision of department directors appointed by the City Manager.
