The Council consists of six members. Two are elected at large each year for three-year terms. As the legislative body, the Council adopts ordinances and resolutions, decides on appropriations, approves appointments made by the Mayor, determines policy, and establishes the functions of the various departments of the local government. Three Council members, one being Chairperson in each, belong to each standing committees: Finance and Administration, Parks and Recreation, Police, Office of Emergency Management and Municipal Court, Department of Public Works; Buildings and Grounds; Street Lighting, Health and Welfare, Fire Department and Ambulance Corps., Library, Communications, Transportation, Election, and Redevelopment. Council members also serve as liaisons with other committees, commissions and boards.
