Council

Council is the governing body for the city and represents the legislative branch of our local government.  Some of the duties include review and approve the annual budget, establish long- and short-term objectives, goals, and priorities, oversee performance of the local public employees, set tax levies, enacts ordinances, resolutions, and policies, and authorize public improvements and contracts.   

A Council member’s goal is to do the very best to represent their constituents after they've seen to the needs of the city as a whole. Our Council consists of 5 members who are elected to a 4-year term. Our current Council Members are Craig Doris (Council President & Utilities Commissioner), Austin Bretz (Pool  Commissioner), Eric Steffens (Streets and Alleys Commissioner, Marlene ‘Charlie’ Rupp (Park Commissioner) & Janet Shapland (Finance Commissioner). Council meets every second Monday at 5:30 PM at City Hall.
