CITY MANAGER INFORMATION & LINKS

Post by stephen davis »

For information about City Managers, and the Coucil/Manager form of government, I would recommend visiting the ICMA website.

http://icma.org


It is a very deep site that contains lots of information and data. I have selected a few interesting links that can help you get started.


Here is one to a brochure called “Professional Local Government Management: The Benefits to Your Municipalityâ€￾.

Here is another, “Council – Manager Form of Government: Frequently asked Questionsâ€￾.

http://icma.org/main/ld.asp?ldid=12171&hsid=10


This one is just statistics, “Form of Government Statistics (2008): U.S. Municipalities with a Population of 2,500 or greaterâ€￾.

I don't intend to discuss the Council/Manager form of government on this thread. I started it as an information resource. If you find anything of interest, please post it here. I fully expect there will be lots of discussion about this in other threads. I know I can't, and won't, control it, but it would be nice to keep this one for information, and others for opinion and debate. (Well, it's just a thought.)
