About the Commission
- The City Commission consists of five officials elected at large.
- Three city commissioners are up for election every two years. The two top votegetters win four-year terms, and the third place finisher wins a two-year term. In that way, a majority of the commission can be replaced in any election. No term limits exist.
- The City Commission elects a Mayor and Vice-Mayor annually at the first meeting in April in even numbered years and at the second meeting in April in odd numbered years.
- The City Commission passes resolutions and ordinances, establishes policies for the City, approves the budget and hires the City Manager.
