Marquette City Commission

The city commission acts as the legislative branch of city government. The City of Marquette elects seven city commissioners during non-partisan, city-wide elections. Every year, the commission elects one of its members to serve as mayor and one as mayor pro-tem. The mayor pro-tem is authorized to act on behalf of the mayor in the mayor’s absence. Commissioners serve three year terms and may not serve more than two consecutive terms in office. The city commission has the power to hire a city manager and city attorney, and to appoint citizens to serve on numerous advisory boards and commissions. All official action of the commission is accomplished through ordinance, resolution, motion or order. The duties of the commission are to represent the citizens of Marquette, establish policies and approve the budget. By law, the city commission must conduct city business at public meetings held at least twice a month. Meetings are usually held in the city hall commission chambers and the public may make comments or submit petitions on relevant issues.
