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
