City of Poway
The City of Poway was incorporated in December 1980 as a general law city operating under the Council-Manager form of government. The City Council is composed of five members elected to serve overlapping four-year terms, and each year, the City Council chooses one of its members to serve as Deputy Mayor, while the Mayor is directly elected. There are no term limits in Poway, and the community benefits from the City’s long-term political stability. Known for being an active and engaged elected body, Councilmembers typically serve for numerous terms. Poway’s City Manager is appointed by the City Council, as are the City Attorney and the members of the City’s citizen advisory committees. The Council is accountable to the residents of Poway for all services and programs provided by the municipality and serves as the City’s policy-making body. Poway provides the traditional spectrum of municipal services, including water and sewer, and contracts with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement services.
