Government and officials

Linden is run by elected officials who make decisions in public. This page explains who does what and how to reach each of them.

How city government works

The City Council is the city’s legislative body. Council members set city policy, pass ordinances, approve the budget and decide major questions at public meetings.

The Mayor presides over City Council meetings and serves as the city’s public spokesperson and ceremonial head.

The City Clerk keeps the city’s official records and minutes, manages elections, posts public notices and handles requests under the Freedom of Information Act.

The City Treasurer receives and safeguards city money, manages city investments and oversees the collection of city taxes and fees.

City staff, led by department heads, carry out council decisions every day. If you are not sure who to contact, call or visit City Hall and staff will direct you.
