City Administrator
The City Administrator serves as the City's chief administrative officer, a role similar to that of a president of a private corporation. The Mayor and City Council establish policy while the City Administrator carries out that policy on a daily basis. The Administrator's mission is to ensure that residents/customers are receiving the highest quality of services at the most reasonable price, thereby providing a high quality of life. The Administrator prepares the City Council's regular business agendas, the annual operating budget and a capital improvement program. Department Heads are supervised by the City Administrator.
The following are specific duties of the City Administrator as provided by the City Charter:
- Provide for the efficient administration of all departments and divisions.
- Prepare an annual budget and provide the administration thereof after its adoption by the City Council.
- Prepare and submit to the City Council an annual report of the finances and administrative activities of the City.
- Keep the Mayor and City Council advised of the financial and physical condition and future needs of the City.
