How Draper makes policy
Draper’s mayor and five council members form the elected governing body. Together they establish general goals and policies and adopt ordinances and resolutions. Study sessions allow preparation for business meetings, where public hearings and formal action occur. This framework places Walker’s meeting leadership and appointment powers alongside the council’s policy role. The city publishes agendas, meeting recordings and conflict declarations so residents can follow the decisions made by their representatives. [2]
