The City of
Keller, Texas, was incorporated in 1955
under the general laws of the State of Texas.
In 1982, the voters elected to become a
Home Rule City, adopted the City's Charter
pursuant to State Law and subsequently operated
under the Council-Manager form of government.
The City Council is comprised of a Mayor
and five Council Members, elected at-large.
The Council Members are elected for two-year
staggered terms and elections are held annually
in May.
Establishing city policy is the sole
responsibility of, and is vested in, the
City Council. The City Council is required
by the City Charter to appoint a City
Manager to serve as the Chief Administrative
and Executive Officer of the city. The
duties of the City Manager include the
appointment of all city department directors,
administering the daily affairs of the
city, and ensuring that city policies
are enforced.
