Mayor & City Council

About the City Council

North Salt Lake operates under a council-manager form of government, which combines the political leadership of elected officials with the professional management of an appointed city manager. The city manager (Ken Leetham, kenl@nslcity.gov) is appointed by the City Council to carry out council-established policies and oversee the day-to-day operations of the City.

The Mayor and City Council members are elected to represent the community and focus on policy matters that reflect residents’ needs and priorities. As the City’s legislative body, the Council serves as the community’s decision-making authority.

The City Council approves the City’s budget, sets the City portion of the tax rate, and provides direction on major initiatives. Its work includes establishing community goals and guiding long-term planning efforts such as growth and land use, capital improvement projects, capital financing, and strategic planning.

The Mayor and five at-large councilmembers each serve four-year terms.
