The City Council is comprised of a mayor and
five members who are elected at-large and serve for two-year terms, which
are staggered. The City Council enacts ordinances and resolutions, adopts an
annual budget, establishes the tax levy, and otherwise takes such actions as
are "necessary for the security, welfare, convenience and interest of the
City." The authority and duties of the Council are delineated in the City
Charter. The City Council meets regularly on the first Monday of each month
in sessions open to the public. The meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and are held
in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 65 Lawrenceville Street.
The
City Manager is responsible for organizing and managing the daily operations
of city government in accordance with local ordinances, laws and policies
prescribed by the elected officials.
