City Council has seven members: three elected at-large by all city residents, and four representing the four city wards and elected only by those ward residents. All council members serve four-year terms. The mayor and vice mayor are selected by Council from among the at-large members and serve two-year terms.  Council members are part-time civil servants who do not maintain offices at City Hall but, rather, serve their constituency through personal contact.
