City governance

St. Louis Park operates under the council/manager form of government. An elected city council sets the policy and overall direction for the city. Then city workers, under the direction of a city manager, carry out council decisions and provide day-to-day services.

The city manager provides leadership, direction and guidance to all city departments and is accountable to the city council.
