==Government== [[File:League City, Texas Police Department.jpg|thumb|League City, Texas Police Department]] League City became an incorporated city in 1962. League City's government consists of seven council members and the mayor. The mayor is a full voting member of the council.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://library.municode.com/tx/league_city/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=HORUCH_ARTIIADPR_S1CICO|title=Municode Library|website=library.municode.com|access-date=December 10, 2019}}</ref> The city's charter is purported to be a strong mayor form of government, but this issue has been debated for years. By ordinance, a city administrator position was created under Mayor Leonard Cruse. The ordinance was amended in May 2010 to create a council-manager government. According to the ordinance, "...shall consist of a mayor and council members, elected by the people and responsible to the people, and a city manager, appointed by and responsible to the council for proper administration of the affairs of the city."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Municode Library|url=https://library.municode.com/tx/league_city/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=HORUCH_ARTIIADPR_S20FOGO|access-date=June 10, 2021|website=library.municode.com}}</ref> In 2011 an officer accused the police chief, Michael Jez, of giving officers [[ticket quota]]s, which are illegal in the state of Texas. In November city council voted to place Chief Jez on administrative leave. The council did not give a reason and Jez cited philosophical differences for the separation. Much speculation was made that the decision was a reaction to the allegation made, but neither side ever admitted to any wrongdoing.<ref>"[http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/bay_area/news/golden-parachute-city-council-approves-exit-agreement-for-fired-league/article_40c83108-316b-56ac-9ae9-8a77086a3197.html Golden Parachute]."

The building is across the street from the old police department that now houses other city offices that were previously in leased space. The city held an open house in January 2015 to serve as a grand opening to the public, allowing citizens to come see the inner workings of the police department.[[File:League City Texas City Hall.jpg|thumb|League City's City Hall]]
