About Us
City Council is comprised of five at-large members who represent the entire city and four district members who are the voice for the South, Northwest, East, and Northeast sections of the city. All Councilmembers serve a four year term in office. The At-Large Councilmembers are elected in the same year as the Mayor, and all District Councilmembers are elected two years later.
