The City of Stillwater operates under a council-manager system. In this form of government, an elected City Council is responsible for setting policy, passing ordinances and approving the City's budget. The mayor chairs meetings, authenticates documents and serves as the ceremonial head of the city. Stillwater City Council appoints the city manager, the city attorney and the municipal judge.
In order to keep moving forward, the City Council holds strategic planning sessions to evaluate and update the City’s priorities. These priorities may be modified from year to year, but they always aim to articulate the community’s need for safe and livable neighborhoods, a sustainable and vibrant economy, efficient and responsive city services, utilities and infrastructure, enhanced communications and community engagement.
