The City features a City Manager/Commission form of government. Residents elect a five-member City Commission to four-year terms. The council members are elected at large and represent the entire community.
Mayor
The Mayor is also elected, and serves as one of the five Commission members and as chairman of the Commission.
The City Manager is selected by the Commission members and is the City's chief administrator. That individual directs staff, carries out policies set by Commission, and provides advice to the Commission members, but does not vote. The City Manager serves at the pleasure of the City Commission. The City Manager/Commission form developed in the early 1900s in response to complaints about politics undermining good government. Daytona Beach Shores adopted this approach since 1970.
