The Mayor, elected officials and employees of the city government work everyday to maintain that high standard of service and quality of life for all Columbus residents, to keep Columbus neighborhoods vibrant, and to support the economic development of the entire Central Ohio region.

The state legislature established Columbus as a city in 1812. The city is a home-rule municipal

Auditor, and the City Attorney are elected in the following odd numbered year. The Charter provides

for appointments and elections of successors to these officials if they should, for any reason, vacate

their office. All are chosen through a non-partisan process.
