How Your Government Works

Glendale operates under the Council-Manager form of government in accordance with its Charter. Legislative authority is vested in a seven-member City Council consisting of a Mayor elected at large, and six Council members elected based upon a system of geographic districts. Council members serve a term of four years on a staggered basis and the Mayor is elected for a four-year term. The City Manager is appointed by the Mayor and Council.

At these workshop “study” sessions, the Council has the opportunity to review and discuss important issues, staff projects and future Council meeting agenda items. Staff is present to answer Council questions. Citizens also may be asked by the Council to provide input. The City Council does not take official action during workshop sessions; therefore, audience comments on agenda items are made only at the request of the Mayor.

Agendas for all city meetings may be obtained 24 hours before the meeting, at the City Clerk’s or City Manager’s Office in the Municipal Complex, in both city libraries or via the Glendale Website. The agenda and all supporting documents are posted to the city’s website - view the agenda page.
