The Town of Frederick operates under the council-manager form of government. The elected Board of Trustees is primarily responsible for the creation of policies, goals and objectives, and the Town Administrator manages the day-to-day operations of the organization and translating the Board’s goals into budgetary priorities and representing the Town’s interests. The municipal government is organized into five main operational Departments with various supporting Divisions.
As the Town of Frederick continues to grow in both land mass and number of residents, the contributions of each individual town department increase in importance as a means of creating a sum that is greater than the whole of those individual parts.
