Company History

Laredo is a Home Rule city under Texas state law. Laredo’s municipal government is controlled by a council-manager form of local government. Although the Mayor presides over the City Council and is the head of municipal government, he/she may vote only to break a tie. The City Council is the policy-making body of the city. The Mayor has veto power over City Council actions, but the vote of the Mayor may be overridden by a vote of five (5) Council Members.

City Council elections are based on single-member districts and campaigns have no party affiliations. There are eight City Council Members and a Mayor directly elected by citizens at-large. City elections are held in May of even-numbered years. The municipal government is administered by the City Manager who is hired by the City Council.
