Once elected, the Council represents everyone who lives in our community. The City Council oversees the government of our community, makes laws, decides where and how to spend money, establishes policies for growth in the City's General Plan, and ensures that the services we need are provided. The City Council must make sure that their decisions benefit the majority of the people living here. Visit the City Council web site for more information about your City Council. Discuss the qualities you or your parents would look for when voting to elect someone to represent you.
Every community needs basic services for people to live and work.
Planning for the growth and development of a community is just one of many services provided by local government. These services are intended to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. Make voting booths out of large cardboard boxes.
