The City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge operate under a consolidated government structure established in 1947 and further consolidated in 1982 when the City and Parish Councils merged into a single Metropolitan Council. The Mayor-President serves as both Mayor of the City and Parish President, setting the government's agenda and managing day-to-day operations through appointed department heads, while the Metropolitan Council—composed of 12 Council Districts—holds responsibility for setting policy and approving municipal spending. The consolidated structure is designed to eliminate duplication of services, increase efficiency, and reduce costs across the metropolitan area.
