Description

The City of Fargo has a commission form of government. The Mayor and four Commissioners are elected at large, meaning that every citizen has an opportunity to vote for each of them. Rather than representing specific areas of the city, as is done in a council form of government, Commissioners represent the entire city. The liaison assignment system was adopted several years ago as a means of providing a link between individual departments and the City Commissioners. With Fargo continuing to grow and its activities becoming more complex, the assignment of specific Commissioners to individual departments provides an effective avenue for communication between elected and appointed city officials. It also helps citizens decide which Commissioner to contact when they have questions or concerns about a particular city department or function. The Fargo City Commission meets every two weeks in the City Commission Room above the Civic Center. A schedule of upcoming meetings is listed on the agendas page. Meetings are held at 5 p.m. and are broadcast live on Fargo Access Channel 99. They are rebroadcast the following Thursday at 7 p.m. and each Saturday at 8:30 a.m.
