Conneaut, Ohio is located in Ashtabula County, Ohio along Lake Erie at the mouth of Conneaut Creek, which is the number one steel head trout stream in the country.
Conneaut is located in the northeastern corner of Ohio and has 27 square miles (70 km2) within its corporate city limits. The City, since 1992 has been under a council-manager style government.
What is Council-Manager Government ?
The council-manager government is one of types of popular municipal government, and is used in the majority of American cities with populations over 12,000. (the other is mayor-council government.)
Under the council-manager form of government, the elected governing body -
Conneaut City Council, is responsible for establishing policy, passing local ordinances, voting appropriations, and developing an overall vision for the City of Conneaut.
The elected officials then appoint a city manager or administrator to oversee the daily operations of the government and implement the policies established by the governing body. The manager serves the governing body, often with an employment agreement or contract that specifies his or her duties and responsibilities. Ideally, the manager is apolitical.
A city manager can be seen as a similar role to that of corporate Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in providing professional management to an organization.
