The city of Clovis is run by a council-manager form of
government.
The city council serves as the elected legislative body and has
the overall responsibility for the scope, direction, and
financing of the city services. In setting policy, the council
works closely with citizen advisory committees, considers staff
information and recommendations and receives comments from the
general public.
The city manager post is the administrator of the policies
created by the city council. An appointed post by the council,
this person prepares the budget for council consideration,
recruits, hires and supervises the government staff and serves
as the council's chief advisor.
The mayor serves as the liaison between the council and the
public. In the case of the council, the mayor solicits citizen
opinions in forming the council policies then interprets them
for the public. The mayor presides at council meetings and acts
as a promoter and defender of the community. In addition, the
mayor serves as the key representative for inter-governmental
relations.
Altogether, the council, manager and mayor constitutes a
policy-development
