Mayor and City Council

The City of Lone Tree is a Home-Rule City with a Council-Manager form of government. The elected Mayor and four City Councilmembers make policy decisions, while the City Manager, appointed by the City Council, implements these policies through the management of the daily operations of the City government and staff. Councilmembers represent one of two districts within Lone Tree; the Mayor serves as an At-Large member. The Mayor and City Councilmembers can serve up to two terms, and each term lasts four years.

City Council Duties

Serving on City Council is a big commitment of dedication, time and energy. The Mayor and City Councilmembers help shape policies that touch nearly every part of community life—public safety, transportation, development, parks and trails, City services, and more. That means spending time listening to residents and businesses, learning about issues, and working closely with City staff, regional partners, and other elected officials. 
 
Much of the work happens long before a Council meeting ever takes place. Councilmembers read reports, research topics, and meet with people in the community so that when decisions are made, they’re made with a clear understanding of what matters most to Lone Tree and in alignment with the values of the community.  
 
In addition to setting policy, the Mayor and City Council appoint residents to serve on City boards, commissions, and committees, represent Lone Tree at events, and often take part in regional and state-level groups to make sure our City has a strong voice in projects and issues that affect Lone Tree.
