Government & Public Safety

The City of Rockledge functions under a Council-Manager form of government. Rockledge’s Mayor and City Council members are elected officials who serve three-year terms. Under Council-Managerial government, the Mayor and the City Council act as Rockledge’s legislative body. Day-to-day functional operation of the city is co-coordinated by Rockledge’s City Manager and his departmental support staff.

Brevard County, once known as “Mosquito County”, controls the spread of mosquito-borne disease through Brevard County Mosquito Control. BCMC reduces the mosquito population through adulticiding, larviciding, source reduction, aquatic weed control, waste tire abatement, disease monitoring (of chickens and mosquito-susceptible animals,) environmental monitoring, and biological control of mosquitoes.
