Day to Day

It is actually not material to day-to-day operations of the City under the Council/Manager form of government which personality occupies the offices of Council President and Council members because elected officials establish policy through their collective, official actions which are then implemented. City government is dictated by ordinances, resolutions, and policies, not personalities. The Charter of the City of Lake Mills sought to avoid the impacts of strong personality-driven systems involving party politics, ward representation, precinct captains, or a strong mayor form of government. It is the collective will of the majority of the Council which governs policy.
