Town Manager

Town Governance

The Town of Winter Park operates within the Council-Manager form of government. This system of local government combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a Council, with the managerial experience of an appointed local government manager.

This follows a representative system where the authority is concentrated in the elected council as a whole and the Council hires a professionally trained manager to oversee the delivery of public services.
