It is governed by a Mayor who serves a two-year term and four Council Members who serve four-year terms. City Council Members serve at large. The Mayor and Council Members are responsible for approving operating and capital improvement budgets, employing a City Manager, establishing City regulations and ordinances, maintaining public facilities, and planning the City's future. The City Manager is the chief administrative officer of the City under the direction of the City Council, and advises the Council in matters of general policy, personnel, budget and procedure. This position is responsible for the daily administration and coordination of all City affairs in accordance with City Code, ordinances, resolutions, and directives from the City Council, as well as administration of financial functions of the City. The City Manager directs all municipal operations including, but not limited to, coordination and facilitation of all City Council meetings. The City Manager is ultimately responsible for the day-to-day management of the City which includes oversight of Fire, Public Works, Finance, Administration, Community Development, and contracted Police Services. The City provides its residents and businesses a full range of municipal services consisting of police, fire, public works, parks and general administrative services. The City also operated five enterprises in 2022: a liquor store, water utility, sewer utility, storm sewer utility, and a curb -side recycling service. The City of Mound operates a very unique program - the Mound Docks and Commons Program. It is the largest municipally owned dock program in the state permitting over 600 boats annually on Lake Minnetonka. They dedicate the shorelines of Mound, just as parks are dedicated for public use, so that all Mound residents could enjoy the use of the Lake, not just those whose property faces (abuts) the lake. Currently, inland Mound residents have an opportunity to have access to Lake Minnetonka through the approximately 144 dock sites and 100 slip sites. Page 332 of 4305
