City Government & Management

The City of Arvada is divided into four Council districts. Residents of each district elect a council member who lives within the district and represents the concerns of that district. The Mayor and two other councilmembers are elected "at large," meaning that they represent the entire City of Arvada rather than a specific area or District. The City Manager's Office supervises implementation of policy and procedure as directed by the City Council.
