The City Council consists of seven members: a Mayor and two Councilmember's elected citywide and four additional Councilmember's elected by individual districts. The administrative responsibility of the City rests with the City Manager, who is appointed by the City Council (upon recommendation of the Mayor). Each Councilmember is elected to a four-year term
