Members of the City Council are elected at-large for four-year, overlapping terms. The Mayor is also elected for a term of four years. The City Council serves as the legislative body of the City, adopting Ordinances and Resolutions which become Municipal Law.

Regular City Council meetings are on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Meetings will begin at 7:00 pm at City Hall unless otherwise posted. All Council meetings are open to the public, and all citizens are invited to attend.
