Form of Government

Lakeland's government is in the form of commission-manager, where elected officials make policy decisions and the city manager's staff implements them. A mayor and four commissioners are elected at large for four-year terms. The Board of Commissioners (see box at right) appoints the city manager, who is the chief administrative officer and oversees the daily operations of the city's departments and employees.

Hazard Mitigation

The joint Hazard Mitigation Plan was built through the efforts of the staffs of the City of Lakeland and the Town of Arlington.  Funded by a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant, the 49-page document reviews possible hazards facing our joint area, impact of the hazards, previous hazards and unique risks.  The document is available at Lakeland City Hall and online: Lakeland/Arlington Joint Area Hazard Mitigation Plan (PDF, 9 MB). Note: This very large file may take several minutes to open on some computer.
