The City of Grand Junction is a full-service municipal government organization providing a broad range of services for the citizens of Grand Junction. The organization, which employs over 600 full-time employees, is comprised of six departments: Public Works, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Convention and Visitor Services, and Administration. Services provided by the City of Grand Junction are primarily funded by sales and use tax revenues, fees, property taxes, and grants.
Grand Junction was founded in 1882. In 1921, the citizens of Grand Junction voted to employ the Council-Manager form of government, which became popular in the early part of the 20th Century. This system combines the political leadership of elected officials with the managerial expertise of an appointed, professionally trained, local government manager. The members of the City Council are elected by the citizens of Grand Junction to make policy decisions and laws, similar to a board of directors in a private company. The City Councilmembers select a Mayor from amongst themselves each year in May.
