City Council

• to consider the welfare and interests of the municipality as a whole and to bring to council's attention to anything that would promote the welfare or interests of the municipality
• to participate in developing and evaluating the policies and programs of the municipality
• to participate in Council meetings, Council committee meetings and meetings of other bodies
