The Chico City Council is composed of seven members representing
seven individual districts which were officially created in
February 2020.
Councilmembers are elected to serve four-year terms, with
elections held in November of even numbered years. Seats
are staggered, with either three or four seats up for each
election.
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

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.
