For information about city council and issues currently before it, call 994-2725. To learn who your representatives are, see the ward map and the list of current council members.
City council adopts the city's annual budget and determines city laws and policies.
Council members serve staggered two-year terms, so one seat in each ward is up for grabs in a partisan election every fall. But despite Ann Arborites' reputation for a high level of political involvement, council elections tend to generate little interest and low turnouts. Additional special or working sessions usually take place on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. Citizens are welcome to attend meetings and working sessions. Meetings are telecast live on the city's community access cable network and repeated twice each week.
