Lakewood, incorporated in 1969, is a home-rule City with a Council/Manager
form of government. The City
Council consists of the Mayor, who is elected at-large, and ten
City Council members, two from each of the City's five geographical
wards. The Council appoints the City Manager with administrative responsibility
to carry out the Council's policies, core community values, and the
day-to-day operations of the City.
