Mayors and City Managers

Our City Managers are some of the most important people in our cities. The City Manager oversees the overall conduct of the city administration in pursuing the city's goals, and serving the will of City Council.

A City Manager’s Duties include:

• Reviewing departmental programs, budgets, and policy initiatives
• Making recommendations to City Council
• Ensuring that Council's directives are carried out (in consultation with Council and departments)
• Establishing standards and priorities for the civic administration
• Motivating and monitoring performance to ensure that standards are met, that priorities are pursued, and that high-quality City services are consistently delivered
• Managing a continuing organizational development program to ensure good communication between departments and city leaders

City Managers are often overlooked when it comes time to hand out awards. Therefore, the Delaware League of Local Governments would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every City and Town Manager in the State for their hard work, long hours, and unyielding desire to make their cities a better place to live. We salute you!
