City Commission


Governing Body
Winfield's governing body consists of three Commissioners elected at-large. HB 2104, effective July 1, 2015, established city elections beginning in 2017 to be held in the fall of odd years on a non-partisan ballot. The person receiving the largest number of votes is elected to a four-year term and the person receiving the second largest number of votes is elected to a two-year term. The Mayor is elected each year by the governing body to serve for the ensuing year. Each Commissioner receives as compensation $600 per year, payable fifty dollars per month.


Meetings
The City Commission invites and encourages the public to attend all Commission meetings. The Commission meets regularly in the Community Council Room on the first floor of the City Hall building, 200 E. Ninth. Meetings are on the first and third Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. Should a regular meeting fall on an observed Holiday, the meeting will be held on the next day that is not an observed Holiday. Work sessions, to discuss City issues and provide information to the public and City Commission, are held at 4:00 p.m. the Thursday prior to the regular Monday meeting in the same location as the regular meeting.
