The City of Andover is organized as a Council-Administrator form of government. Residents who are registered voters elect the Mayor and City Council by popular vote. The Mayor and Council appoint an Administrator. The Council/Manager style of government combines the strong political leadership of an elected governing body to make policies and laws that will enhance or sustain the quality of life in Andover, with the managerial expertise of the City Administrator to administer these policies and oversee the daily operation of the City.
The City Council is comprised of six members who are elected at large and serve four year terms which are staggered – three members being elected when the Mayor is elected, and the other three being elected two years later.
The City Council meets the second and last Tuesday of each month at 7:00p.m. in City Hall. Council Workshop meetings are held the Monday before the last Council Meeting of the month starting at 7:00p.m. at the Lodge in Central Park.
If you would like to present an issue to the Council at an upcoming meeting just contact the City Administor at 316-733-1303 ext 222 or by email at least one week prior to the subject meeting date.
