The City Council is composed of four Council Members and the Mayor, all of whom are directly elected by the people. The Mayor and Vice-Mayor are elected annually by the Council and the Council Members serve four-year staggered terms. Although not granted special decision-making powers, the Mayor does represent the City in all ceremonial and official affairs. The City’s Municipal elections are held the first Tuesday of November in each even-numbered year. The Council meets regularly twice monthly on the second and fourth Thursdays.
