About the City Council
The City Council does not have a District or Ward system. The City Council is elected at large to serve the entire City.
The Mayor is appointed by the Council to serve as Mayor for one year. Every December, the Council holds their reorganization meeting and appoints the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem for the year. As with all boards and commissions in the city, the Council is expected to operate within a code of ethics.
City Council elections are held in November of even numbered years. The term of office for each Council Member is four years. Terms of office are staggered so in one election there will be two sets up and in the next election there will be three.
