Five councilmanic votes are necessary to override an executive veto. The other type of action which the Council may take is in the form of resolutions. Resolutions are not subject to executive veto and must only be of a temporary or administrative nature. The County Council is composed of one elected representative from each of the seven councilmanic Districts. Council members are elected by district and serve four year terms.
Terms are limited to eight years.
You will be furnished with the Council member's name. Council members work part-time. Their offices are staffed by a full-time Legislative Assistant. The Honorable Daniel E. Klosterman Jr. All meetings are open to the public.
