The city manager is assisted by his team of professional department directors. Two City Council members are elected from each of five city wards and serve staggered four year terms. Elections are held every two years.
City laws are codified, and consist of the city's ordinances.
All new ordinances require postings in designated facilities, publication in one of the local newspapers, and at least one public hearing before they are adopted. Citizens are encouraged to participate in public hearings. They are scheduled during regular or special city council meetings. Copyright 2001 City of Broomfield.
