City Clerk: Boards & Commissions
|
Overview |
Since its incorporation in 1856, public participation in the development of public policy has been a strong tradition in the City of Winona. Just as the City of Winona has changed considerably over the past 140+ years, so too, have its societal and governmental institutions grown increasingly complex in their efforts to keep pace.
The City of Winona is guided by its Home Rule Charter and operates under the Council-Manager form of government, which was approved by election in 1968. Under this system, the Mayor and City Council are responsible for development of overall policy while the City Manager is responsible for the implementation of this policy in the city’s day-to-day operations.
Many boards and commissions comprised of citizen volunteers are utilized by the City in development of recommendations on policies and issues, which will affect the well being of the Winona community. This booklet is intended to provide pertinent information relative to each of these boards and/or commissions and a brief outline of their structure and function.
Public participation continues to be an admirable tradition in the City of Winona. In recognition of this public involvement, the City of Winona was designated an All-American City for 1978-79 and was designated as a Minnesota Start city. It is up to each of us to continue this tradition and, in so doing, to guarantee that Winona will always be an excellent place to live, to work, and to grow.
