| The City of Hawarden currently operates a Mayor - Administrator form of government. The original charter for Hawarden listed us as a Mayor-Council form of government. That was changed by action of the council in 1999 when we hired a city administrator and turned over a large part of the day to day operation of the city to him.
The mayor and five council members are elected "at-large" for four year terms. We have a city administrator to provide professionalism and consistency to Hawarden City Government and it's Utilities.
The
council meets the second and fourth Wednesday
of every month in the Hawarden City Offices.

Back Row (L to R): Councilperson George Jacobs (2009), Councilperson Larry Bauder (2011), Councilperson Kody Hedden (2009)and Mayor Pro-Tem Bob Borcher (2011).Front Row (L to R): Mayor Ricard Porter (2011) and Councilperson Patty Anderson (2009).
