How Is City Council Organized? 
The City Council elects its Mayor and Mayor Pro-tem at the first meeting following a city election. The election is conducted by written ballot and by majority vote of the members of the council in office at the time.

Who Can Address The City Council At A Meeting?

These hearings are an opportunity for citizens to give their comments on the proposed budget on or before the second meeting held in May, with or without amendments.
