How the City Operates
The City of Helena operates within a Commission-Manager form of government. This system of local government combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a commission, with the managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. This form establishes a representative system where all power is concentrated in the elected commission as a whole and where the commission hires a professionally trained manager to oversee the delivery of public services.
