The City of Sierra Vista is a Council-Manager municipality. The Council-Manager form of government capitalizes on a basic tenet of American democracy — the separation of legislative and executive powers. As such, the City Council defines public policy, while the City Manager administers that policy and oversees the day-to-day operation of the city. The Sierra Vista City Council is comprised of a Mayor and six Council members, who are elected at large to staggered four-year terms. Elections are strictly nonpartisan.
Regular meetings of the City Council are held at 5 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 1011 North Coronado Drive. Public attendance and participation are encouraged. City Council meetings are also televised live on Channel 7.
