The City of Sarasota is governed by a "Commission - Manager" form of government. There are five City Commissioners, two are elected at-large and three are elected from single-member districts. All elections are nonpartisan. In November of each year the Commissioners select a Mayor and Vice Mayor from among their members. The City Commission appoints a City Manager, a City Auditor and Clerk and a City Attorney, who are known as "Charter Officials".

The City Commission meets the first and third Monday of each month at 9 a.m. in City Hall. The public is welcome.
