The City of Coon Rapids operates under a Charter adopted by the citizens in 1959. This Charter established the Council/Manager form of government. Under this plan the City Council is the legislative body and decides all matters regarding policy. The Council appoints a City Manager to oversee the daily operations of the City. The City Charter also defines the responsibilities of various departments within the City administration.

The City Council consists of a Mayor, a Councilmember At Large and a Councilmember from each of five wards. (In November, 1992, voters approved changing from a five member Council to a seven member Council.)

The City Council meets the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at the City Center, 11155 Robinson Drive NW, Coon Rapids, MN, 55433. Agendas and council packets are posted after 3:30 p.m. the Friday before the upcoming Council Meeting.

The City Manager is chosen by the City Council and is the Chief Administrative Officer of the City. The City Manager is appointed for an indefinite period of time.

It is the City Manager’s responsibility to direct the City’s business affairs, keep Council advised of the financial condition of the City, oversee all departments and divisions, and recommend to Council the adoption of measures necessary for the well being of the citizens.
