A Message from Steve Gilbert, City Manager
Welcome to the City of Stroud's website. We are pleased to use the latest technology to provide information about your City's innovative local government operations. The City of Stroud has a Council-Manager form of government in which the elected Mayor and City Council members establish policy. Those policies are then implemented by the City Manager who is appointed by, and reports to, the City Council. The City Manager operates much in the same way that a Chief Executive Officer of a corporation does. The City Manager's Office is responsible for the day-to-day administration of Stroud's city government, including managing the city's budget, the city's departments and operations, and programs for communicating with residents and employees.
