Herriman City Council

Under Herriman City's council-manager form of government, city council members representing four districts are elected, as well as an at-large mayor. City council members serve terms of four years.

In addition to their local legislative duties as elected officials, city council members serve on various boards and commissions throughout the state, giving Herriman residents a voice and influence at the county, regional, and state levels.

What is the council-manager form of government?

The council-manager form is the most popular structure of government in the United States among municipalities with populations of 2,500 or more. It is one of several ways in which U.S. municipalities and counties can organize. 

Under this form, residents elect a governing body (city council)—including a chief elected official, such as a mayor—that is responsible for legislative functions such as establishing policy, passing local ordinances, voting appropriations, and developing an overall vision, similar to a corporate board of directors. The governing body then appoints a manager to implement those policies, oversee the local government's day-to-day operations, and advise it. The manager position is similar to that of corporate chief executive officer (CEO), providing professional management to the board of directors. The position of mayor present in this type of legislative body is a largely ceremonial title, and may be selected by the council from among its members or elected as an at-large council member with no executive functions.
