City Administrator
The City of Dickinson operates under the mayor-council form of government. Under this system, the city council appoints a city administrator who acts as the chief administrative officer of the city government. In this capacity, the city administrator works with the mayor, city council, city department directors, and city staff to develop and implement policies guiding the city. This general function may take a number of forms including coordination of daily operations and long range planning of the city; preparation of the annual budget; development and implementation of personnel regulations, financial and administrative policies; and other actions as required by the mayor and city council or Code of Ordinances.
The city attorney, city prosecutor, municipal court judge, police chief and city secretary are also appointed by the city council. All other officials and department heads are hired by and responsible to the city administrator.
