City Council Contacts In council-manager systems – the most popular form of government in the United States today – a city council appoints a city manager to administer and coordinate municipal operations and programs. In Fort Worth, council also appoints the city secretary, city attorney, city auditor, municipal court judges and residents who serve on city boards and commissions.
City Management Contacts Though the city manager is appointed by City Council, the City Manager’s Office is made up of non-political employees much like any other office. The employees in the City Manager’s Office oversee city operations and processes while acting as a clearinghouse for information both requested by and submitted to City Council.
Code Compliance Contacts The Code Compliance Department maintains Fort Worth's status as a clean, livable city by ensuring the property complies with rules set by City Council. Code Officers routinely patrol assigned neighborhoods for code violations and investigate complaints with a mission of abating issues and educating residents.
