More Information
Presently in the city there exists a number of
boards and commissions engaged in planning for specialized and specific
fields. The intent of these boards and commissions are to have input
from citizens who represent each ward concerning the effect departmental
decisions will have on the community and the city. One of the most
important duties of these divisions, authorized by the Code of
Ordinances, is to engage in planning for the development of the city and
its entire metropolitan area.
Under the Mayor-Council form of
government, the Code of Ordinances vests the mayor with the power to
appoint all members of any board, authority, and commission with
confirmation by a majority of the City Council members present and
voting.
