The City Council is comprised of a
mayor and four council members. The mayor is elected at-large for
a two-year term and the council members are elected at-large for a
four-year term (two each election).
All terms of office in statutory cities
begin on the first business day of January following an election.
The terms of the old officers end at this time, or as soon as the newly
elected officers qualify by taking an oath.
