Where ‘The Buck’ REALLY Stops

The City Administrator oversees the operations of the city organization and its 800-plus full time staff. The City has an annual budget of about $250 million.

The City Administrator is the chief administrative officer of the city organization and is appointed by the Mayor and Council to serve in that capacity. As chief administrative officer, he is charged with everything the City does for the citizens of this community. All employees serve under the direction of the City Administrator and he implements the policies and directions adopted by the City Council.
