CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT

WHAT DOES THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT DO?

The City Council President is elected at-large (citywide) and serves a four-year term. They break ties of the City Council, appoint committee chairs, and step in should anything happen to the Mayor until a new Mayor is elected. There are no term limits for the Council President.

Our current City Council President, Felicia Moore, is running for Mayor.
