The City of Kent is an incorporated entity that adopted a city charter by a vote of the people in May 1963. The Kent City Charter provides for a council-manager form of government.

The City Council is composed of nine members. Three are elected at-large and six members represent Wards in the city of Kent. Council members are elected in staggered terms with each council member and the Mayor serving four-year terms. The Mayor�s seat is a ceremonial position and the Mayor presides at meetings of the City Council, voting only in event of a tie.�There are several committees of Kent City Council which oversee various aspects of the City�s government. The Committees recommend actions to the full Council. No action is official until adopted by Kent City Council.

The City Manager is hired by the Kent City Council and is the City�s Chief Executive Officer. He performs the administrative duties including the day-to-day operations of the City. City Council enacts the policies governing the Kent City government.
