City Manager's Office
Dayton operates under the City Manager form of government where elected officials, who handle legislation, appoint a chief executive--the City Manager--to oversee the operations of the local government. The City Manager, along with two Deputy City Managers, ensure goals are met and services are provided by managing the City's departments, divisions and offices. The City Manager reports to the Dayton City Commission, who serve at the pleasure of the citizens of Dayton.
