The Mesa City Council believes that its people, not leaders, are what makes a City great and actively works to encourage citizen participation in the decision-making process. Whether it is through neighborhood meetings, advisory boards and committees, telephone calls and letters, or email, the Mesa City Council sets policies based on the input and needs of its citizens. Mesa operates under a charter form of government with citizens electing a mayor and six councilmembers to set policy for the City.

Purchase to Upgrade Computer Disk-Based Storage for the Police Department as requested by the Information Technology Department (Citywide)
