Overview

Your mayor and city commission are an active, elected body of government responsible for legislation and policy-making for the City. The voters elect five at-large Commission members. Commission members are elected on a non-partisan ballot. Commission members are elected for two-year terms. Two commission members are elected in even-numbered years and three are elected in odd-numbered years. The Commission members then select a Commission member to be the Mayor and another to serve as Mayor Pro-Tem. The Mayor holds office for one year. The City Commission members are devoted to:

• Adopting City ordinances
• Appointing members to boards and commissions
• Approving the City budget based on income generated by property taxes and other income sources

The City Commission appoints the City Manager, City Clerk, Finance Director/ Treasurer and Director of Public Safety. The City Manager serves as the City's Chief Administrative Officer. Except for the purpose of inquiries, the City Commission addresses administrative services through the City Manager.

The Mayor has additional responsibilities as the official head of the City, representing the City at various government functions on a local, state and national basis.

To contact a City Commission Member, you may leave a message at City Hall or you may reach them directly through their individual contact information.

The City Commission meets at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month in the City Commission Room at City Hall, 45 East Long Lake Road. All City Commission meetings are open to the public, except for portions of meetings in which the subject of discussion warrants a closed meeting in accordance with exceptions provided in the Open Meetings Act.
