Administration
"I am proud to be a part of the Carroll Community and encourage you to join in that same pride. The Mayor and City Council, along with many volunteers that serve on Commissions and Boards, as well as Committees, provide leadership and oversight of the many services delivered by our dedicated employees, both full-time and part-time.
Our employees and contractors provide you with safe water, sanitary disposal of your solid and liquid wastes, protection for your person and property, enhancement for economic growth, safe streets, opportunities for recreational and healthy activities, even our final resting place; all in a timely, efficient and courteous manner. I encourage you to offer a word of support to these employees and contractors. They are “Our Team”, “Your Team”. They will strive harder with encouragement, coupled with mine."
