City Council members and the mayor each take on liaison responsibilities when they sign on for public service in Moorhead. While each council member represents one of four city wards and the mayor holds an administrative position, being a liaison means attending lots of meetings.
They all bring information back to regular council meetings and represent Moorhead. Part of the expectation is that council members create informed conversation about everything that affects the city’s residents and visitors, brick and mortar, streets and water, electricity and infrastructure.
Even if a council member is from a different ward, residents can contact the liaison council member for information or to share ideas.
