City Commission

There are five city commission districts with one commission member elected by district by the voters in that district for a term of four years. The city commission shall give due consideration to the multiple constitutional principles involved in the electoral process and give due regard for the opportunity of minority representation on the city commission as part of the redistricting process. An incumbent commissioner's seat number and/or group may change due to the realignment process occurring during districting.

On November 4, 2014, the electors adopted an amendment providing that each commissioner reside within and represent a district and be elected by such district’s voters, that the mayor be elected by and from the commission annually beginning at the first commission meeting after the November 2016 election or soon as possible thereafter, and provide procedures and guidelines for districts and redistricting. (Charter Amendment Ordinance 2014-017.)

The city commission meets on the second and fourth Thursday of the month, at 6:00 pm, city chambers in city hall.  All meetings are open to the public.
