About city council member’s roles
City council members serve two-year terms, with staggered elections so that three seats are filled each cycle. Councilors, along with the mayor, may serve up to three terms total.
This volunteer role comes with no pay, and the council meets twice per month. City council members make decisions on local policies, budgets, tax rates, and community issues, voting on ordinances and guiding city development.
