The City of Gastonia operates under the Council-Manager form of

government in which a professionally trained City Manager is appointed

by the City Council to serve as the Chief Administrative Officer for city

government and to manage the day-to-day operations of the overall

municipal organization. The hallmark of the Council-Manager form of

government, as embodied in its appointed Manager, is the commitment

to bring creativity, innovation and professionalism to the organization

and management of local government function in order to best serve the

needs of the community, to fully uphold the laws and regulations of the

City and protect and preserve the rights and property of all citizens.
