City Manager

The City of Castle Hills operates under a council-manager form of government. The City Manager is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the city council, which is the governing body responsible for setting policy. The City Manager assists the council in identifying policy agenda and provides recommendations to city council.

This form of government most closely resembles the private sector with the city manager serving as the Chief Executive Officer, the Mayor as the Chairman of the Board, and the Council as the Board of Directors.
