Nicole: That municipalities, mayors, and council members have the tools that they need to manage their constituents. So when I think about being the Mayor here in Manitou Springs and as unique as we feel we are, for example last night we discussed sexually oriented businesses and we are the only municipality in El Paso County with recreational marijuana, you know a variety of things that we have catered to our own municipality, I would love to be able to turn around on those steps and say that I

On Monday, April 13th, 2009, I visited the Culver City city council meeting, and found that they operate using a council-manager form of government. For a city with a population of about 38,000, this type of governmental structure is fairly common, and I was not surprised to see it in action in a community where the median household income is around $56,000 a year. Culver City is also a culturally rich community with a 60 percent Caucasian population, and a quarter of the residents are either of

The State and Local Government of the City of Melbourne The City of Melbourne which has a population of about 71,382 is operated under the Council-Manager form of government also known as the City-Manager plan (City of Melbourne, "About Melbourne"). The Council-Manager form of government was developed in 1908, and today is the most prominent form of local government in the United States. Over 3,000 governments operate under the Council-Manager form of government. The Council-Manager

Community Meeting Review For my project I visited the City of Hesperia’s Official Website and reviewed the April 1, 2014 City Council Meeting which is available to the public on line. The beginning of the meeting started with a call of order then proceeded to the roll call of the board members. After these steps had taken place an invocation was performed followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. I have never heard of a prayer referred to as an invocation and it prompted me to review the words definition

Introduction “In the context of urban history, infrastructure can make or break a community. In the United States, the historical development of urban infrastructure has both formed and followed the inscriptions of race, class, and gender on the urban landscape. Ample in more affluent communities, usually absent or minimal in historic concentrations of urban poverty, infrastructure does not serve its public equally. Some cities have a more equitable distribution of infrastructure than others, but

Katherine Harper 9:00-9:50 MWF Dr.G Govt 2306/ State and Local Extra Credit (Attend a Public Hearing)      On November the 14th I attended a City Council meeting with my father. It took place at the Council Chambers, which is City Hall. The people who attended the meeting and spoke included, Dee Margo which is the Mayor, Tommy Gonzalez the city manager. The city council includes the people who represent the eight districts, Peter Svarzbein which represents district one, Alexsandra Annello which

informing themselves on civic issues and participating in political affairs.” The defence that this system is better for a council with a citywide focus is also largely false. Royce Koop and John Kraemer found that many councillors in at large municipalities still favour a certain area. When interviewing Councillor Bruce Hayne of Surrey, they were told this by him; “I think everybody has some affinity to the geography of where they live. I live in Cloverdale so I

Only municipalities of the type that have a mayoral executive system may have an executive mayor. A Mayoral executive system is a system of municipal government which allows for the exercise of executive authority through an executive mayor in whom the executive leadership of the municipality is vested and who is assisted by a mayoral committee

The Power and Light District (PLD) of downtown Kansas City is the city’s major entertainment center. The growth of PLD and the four other entertainment districts (Zona Rosa, Country Club Plaza, Westport, 18th and Vine Jazz District) resulted in greater choices for the community (AP, 2011); however, it additionally became a choice target for juvenile activity. Crowds of underage youths flocking to entertainment districts have been a problem for years in Kansas City. In the past, the prime destination
