About the City of Littleton

Littleton is a home-rule municipality with a council-manager form of government. The city council makes policy for the city and approves the annual city budget. The city manager implements the council's policies and oversees day-to-day administration of the city government and its eleven departments.  The city manager, city attorney and municipal judges are appointed by council.

The council consists of seven members - one member for each of the four legislative districts, two at-large members, and the mayor.  The mayor and mayor pro tem are elected by council to two-year terms.  Beginning in 2021, all council members are elected to 4-year terms.  General elections for city council are held in odd-numbered years. In 2021, voters will elect a representative for District I, District III, one at-large seat, and the mayor.
​
In 2020, Littleton voters approved an amendment to the city charter which, starting in 2021, allows voters to directly elect the mayor. (Previously, the mayor was elected by council every two years from among the seated members.) The directly-elected mayor has no more power or authority than the other six council members.​
