Clearfield (Utah). City Council

Clearfield City has a "six-member council" form of government, with a city manager by ordinance. In this form, the powers of municipal government are vested in a council consisting of six members, one of which is the mayor. The city council appoints and hires the city manager and the city manager reports to the mayor and council. In the six-member council form of government, the council is the legislative body and is therefore primarily responsible for setting policy and adopting a balanced budget. The council enacts laws, appropriates funds, and reviews municipal administration.
