Administration

The City of Lebanon operates under a Mayor-City Council-Administrator form of government, designed to provide professional management and efficient services for our community.

The City Administrator acts as the chief executive officer for the city and serves as the primary staff liaison for the Mayor and City Council. Leading the city's professional staff and department directors, the City Administrator ensures that daily operations run smoothly and services are delivered effectively.

Troy Schulte began serving the City of Lebanon as City Administrator in April 2025. He brings more than two decades of municipal government experience, having previously served as City Manager for Kansas City, Missouri, and as County Administrator for Jackson County.

Responsibilities of the City Administrator

• Coordinates the city's budget and work plan
• Develops policy recommendations informed by Citizen Satisfaction Surveys conducted every other year
• Aligns organizational goals with the priorities set by the City Council

These surveys provide valuable feedback from residents, ensuring that policies and initiatives are responsive to the community's needs and priorities.

Additionally, the City Administrator oversees staffing decisions, including recommending department head appointments and approving other personnel actions, such as promotions and terminations.

This collaborative and data-driven approach allows the City of Lebanon to meet the needs of its residents with transparency, accountability, and professionalism.
