The Town of Glasgow was established by a charter in 1892. The Town operates the Council-Manager model of government. Legislative power is vested in the Town Council and the responsibility for the administrative and executive functions are delegated to the Town Manager, who is appointed by the Council.
Under direction from the Council, the Town Manager’s duties include responsibilities which, in a larger locality, would be assigned to specific personnel. These duties include administration, budgeting, planning, zoning, public works, and community development. The Town provides services such as water treatment and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, trash collection, maintenance of certain streets, police protection, and park & recreation facilities.
