About City Council

City Council members are elected officials which become the community’s decision makers. This governing body sets policy, approves a budget and determines a tax rate. The elected body also focuses on the community’s goals, major projects, and long-term considerations such as community growth, land-use development, capital improvement plans, capital financing, and strategic planning. Council Members serve staggered four-year terms. If you are interested in becoming a Council Member, please view the City Councilman Candidate Qualifications to learn how.
