Since 1963, the City of Overland Park has had a City Council-City Manager form of government. City Manager John Nachbar is responsible for managing the city's affairs and day-to-day operations, as well as implementing policies set by the Governing Body.

Nachbar and his administrative staff - Deputy City Manager Kristy Stallings, Assistant to the City Manager Adam Norris, Assistant City Manager/Director of External Affairs Erik Sartorius and Communications Manager Sean Reilly - work together to ensure that residents' needs are met efficiently and effectively to enhance the quality of life for all.

Other responsibilities include:

• Respond to residents' and City Council Members' requests for information and services.
• Assist with the development of the city's operating and capital budget.
• Manage issues related to the Convention Center and adjacent hotel.
• Facilitate communications among city staff and neighborhood groups.
• Prepare and monitor state and national legislative programs.

An extension of this office is the Communications Division. It works with other city departments and the City Council to provide proactive information about local government, services and programs and market the city to residents, businesses and media through news releases, newsletters, photographs, brochures, the city's Web site and more.

Publications include:

• E-newsletters
