TOWN COUNCIL & PERSONNEL

Since 2007 the Town of Summerfield has operated under a council-manager form of government, in which a town manager, who is hired by and reports directly to the town council, acts much like the chief administrative officer in a business. The manager is responsible for all town personnel and oversees the day-to-day operations of the town. The council is responsible for setting policies and in turn the manager is responsible for enacting them. Summerfield Town Council includes five council members who are elected by citizens to alternating 4-year terms and a mayor, who is elected by citizens every two years. Except in cases of a tie, the mayor does not vote on issues that come before the council.
