City Council Elections
Elections for City Council seats are held on the first Tuesday in November of even-numbered years, coinciding with state and national elections. Council Members are elected to a four-year term. Council Member terms are "overlapped," meaning that each election fills either two or three open seats.

The City's Mayor and Mayor pro tem are selected at the first meeting of each December to serve a one-year term. These positions are filled by sitting Council Members by a vote of the majority of members.
