The City of Kenmore operates under a Council-Manager form of government. In this form, the elected seven-member City Council appoints a city manager to provide management direction of all city departments and activities in accordance with Council policies and direction. The City Council is responsible for establishing City policies; enacting and amending City laws; adopting the biennial budget and appointing citizen boards and commissions. City Councilmembers serve staggered four-year terms. All Councilmembers are “at-large” meaning that they serve the City as a whole as opposed to a specific district. The Council selects one of its members to serve as mayor and a second as deputy mayor for two-year terms.

In addition,  City Councilmembers serve on various boards and committees. The current committee list can be found here: 2024 Council Committees
