City Council
The City Council has seven members elected at large for two-year terms. Four members are elected in the even years and three in the odd years. The powers, duties and limits of authority of elected officials are outlined in Chapter 64 of the Wisconsin statutes. The Council exercises legislative and general ordinance powers and performs other duties as specified by law. Acting as a whole, the City Council is responsible for passing ordinances and resolutions necessary for governing the City, as well as providing policy direction to the City staff.
Regular meetings of the City Council occur on the first and third Mondays of the month at City Hall. Specific details about dates and times of City Council meetings and workshops can be found here.
