History of Lacey City Government

 Lacey City Government
 

Lacey Mayor A.G. Homann

Swearing In Ceremony, 1966

Voters approved incorporation of the City of Lacey as a City of the Third Class, having a Council-Mayor form of government, on November 8, 1966.  The election was certified on December 5, 1966. The  population of Lacey was determined to be 8,860.  A mayor, city clerk, treasurer, city attorney, and seven councilmembers were elected on the same ballot.  Mayor A.G. Homann served as Lacey's first Mayor.

Less than a decade after incorporation, rapid growth in Lacey revealed a need for a full-time paid administrator to manage daily operations for the city.  In an election held November 6, 1973, Lacey voters approved a Council-Manager form of government and elected seven new Councilmembers on the same ballot. The new council, following an official swearing in ceremony on December 13, 1973, passed Resolution 243 , changing to the city manager structure.  William Bush was selected by the Council to serve as the first Mayor under the revised city government structure.

Lacey is classified as a non-charter code city pursuant to Title 35A.13 RCW.

A Chronology of Elected Officials from 1966 to present, is available on the city website.  To learn more about Lacey history, visit the Lacey Museum.
