Following each election and after the newly elected members of Council are sworn in, the Council selects a Mayor and Vice Mayor from among its members to serve for a two-year term. 

City Council Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:00 P.M.  Meetings are televised live on Cable Channel 11 and streamed live via this link.

Council Standing Committees

The City Council currently has two standing committees which are the Finance Committee and Internal Affairs Committee, each comprised of three Councilmembers. These two committees delve into items referred to them for review and possible recommendations.  Recommendations are then forwarded back to the full Council for consideration and possible action.
