Council

City council is an elected legislative body with the authority to pass municipal by-laws and budgets, make appropriations, and set local tax rates. They are also responsible for setting the vision and strategic priorities for the City. 

Six council members and the Mayor are all elected at large for four-year terms. The Mayor also has a duty to provide leadership and direction to the council and to act as its head during deliberations. Council elections are held every four years.

All regular Council meetings take place on the first and third Tuesday of each month. They are held at City Hall in the Council Chambers at 7:30 pm, unless otherwise stated.
