Centennial's Origin
Residents voted to incorporate the City of Centennial
on September 12, 2000 and elected its first officials
on February 6, 2001. Centennial officially became a city
on February 7, 2001. The quest for a new city took almost
two and half years. The campaign included victories in
the state legislature and state Supreme Court. Formation
of the new city was approved by a 77 percent margin in
the incorporation election. It was the largest city incorporation
in U.S. history.
Governance
The City of Centennial is what is known as a mayor-council
style statutory city. This classification, in contrast
to a home-rule city, limits the authority that the city
exercises, primarily in the area of taxes and tax collection.
The city consists of a citywide elected mayor and eight
council members, two elected from each of Centennial's
four wards. The city also elects a citywide treasurer
and citywide city clerk. Council members serve staggered
four-year terms; the city treasurer and city clerk serve
two-year terms. The City Council employs a city manager
to direct the day-to-day activities and functions of the
city.
