City
Government
The City of Amarillo has a Commission-Manager form of
government. This means that elected officials make policy
decisions, and the staff, led by the City Manager,
implements them. The Mayor and the four members of the City
Commission are elected for two-year terms. They meet for
regular City Commission meetings at 3:00 p.m. every Tuesday
in the City Commission Chambers in City Hall, and they
receive input from 34 boards and commissions. The City
Manager is the chief administrative officer for the
organization, responsible for carrying out the City
Commission's policy decisions and directing the City's 2,029
employees. Commissioners Mayor - Debra McCartt
