Camp Verde Town Council {_getChooseLabel(this.selections.length)}

Mayor and CouncilThe Mayor’s role in a city or town is similar to the Governor’s role in the state. As the municipality s Chief Executive Officer, the mayor manages the municipality’s administration and operations. In some cases, an appointed City Manager handles day-to-day operations and staff. The mayor runs Council meetings to establish policy with the Council. Typically, a Mayor does not have the power to veto ordinances passed by the Council.The Council enacts ordinances, sets policies, develops an annual Legislative Agenda for the City, and oversees the city budget and capital improvements program. It responds to constituents concerns at neighborhood meetings through written correspondence, telephone communication, and staff assistance. 4-year term.Why You Should Care:The Mayor and City or Town Council play a significant role in keeping our communities running efficiently and overseeing dozens of programs and facilities that directly impact our daily lives. They determine priorities and spending for indispensable services such as police and fire protection, housing, emergency medical services, municipal courts, trash collection, traffic control, public transportation, parks and recreation services, zoning regulation, and public works, including streets, sewers, and signage.For additional information:League of Women Voters of Northern Arizona Camp Verde Town Council Forum Sept. 23, 2024 https://youtu.be/A7ZxuGBcvPM?si=zij1SIsjkir2VYOahttps://www.azcleanelections.gov/how-government-works/arizona-mayorhttps://www.azcleanelections.gov/how-government-works/arizona-city-and-town-council-members______________________________________________________________________________________Alcalde y Concejo MunicipalEl papel del alcalde en una ciudad o pueblo es similar al papel del gobernador en el estado. Como director ejecutivo del municipio, el alcalde gestiona la administración y las operaciones del municipio. En algunos casos, un administrador municipal designado se encarga de las operaciones y el personal del día a día. El alcalde dirige las reuniones del Consejo Municipal para establecer políticas con el Consejo. Normalmente, un alcalde no tiene poder para vetar las ordenanzas aprobadas por el Consejo Municipal.El Consejo Municipal promulga ordenanzas, establece políticas, desarrolla una agenda legislativa anual para la ciudad y supervisa el presupuesto de la ciudad y el programa de mejoras capitales. Responde a las preocupaciones de los electores en las reuniones vecinales a través de correspondencia escrita, comunicación telefónica y asistencia del personal. Plazo de 4 años.Por qué debería importarle:El alcalde y el Consejo Municipal desempeñan un papel importante para mantener nuestras comunidades funcionando de manera eficiente y supervisando docenas de programas e instalaciones que impactan directamente nuestra vida diaria.

Creating a walkable and ADA friendly community connecting downtown with the library and the medical center. Creating a vibrant downtown. Ensuring that any growth is strategic, follows the Camp Verde 10 year plan and maintains the rural character of the town and assures access to natural resources such as water. Encourage exploration of additional revenue sources for Camp Verde. With an emphasis of funds for public safety.
Completely understand the budget, and revenue sources. Request the each department head meets with Council during session to discuss their budget request highlighting the impact of increases or decreases. Ensure all discussions and proposals are open to the public
Codes and code enforcement have become a high priority and a concern for citizens. All codes need to be reviewed for ease of understanding and enforced. Camp Verde needs to find alternative sources of revenue. The budget has caused some departments, such as public safety to receive less funding. As the town grows it is imperative that public safety and other services have the ability to operate fully. Water will continue to be a priority. Ensuring adequate and safe water are a necessity for our community to thrive.
Restore departmental budget cuts. Begin updating infrastructure such as water and sewer.
