Holiday Closure
All City of Boulder administrative facilities, public libraries and Age Well Centers will be closed Monday, May 29, for the Memorial Day holiday. Some facilities and services will be open.
The City of Boulder has a council-manager form of government where the elected City Council sets policies and the council-appointed city manager administers them.
City Council is responsible for setting policies for the city and consists of nine members, all elected at-large. City Council chooses a mayor and a mayor pro tem from among its members, with each serving a 2-year term.
The City Manager's Office ensures the proper management of city operations and public representation and participation.
From providing clean drinking water to keeping the public safe, departments and divisions are responsible for city services and operations.
Volunteers appointed to serve on a board or commission help City Council examine issues and, in turn, shape the future of Boulder.
