Eight council members are elected from four wards (two per ward), in non-partisan elections, for four-year staggered terms. The Mayor, who provides leadership on all policy deliberations that come before the City Council, is elected at large for a four-year term.

When vacancies occur between elections, an appointment to fill a vacancy is made by the Mayor with the consent of the City Council. Regular city elections are held every two years in the fall.
