Overview
The City of Bonham operates with a Council/Manager form of government. The City Council is comprised of a Mayor, who is elected at large, and 6 Council Members, 1 elected from each district and 1 elected at large. The Council appoints the City Manager, City Attorney, Municipal Judge and City Secretary, who work with direction both from the City Council and City Manager. All other staff members work under the direction of the City Manager.
The Mayor and Council are the policymakers for the City of Bonham. Among their many duties, the Mayor and Council take feedback from the community, approve the budget and tax rate, adopt resolutions and ordinances, establish goals and provide direction for the city government, and supervise, monitor, and evaluate the City Manager's performance.
