City Council meets in regular session at 7 p.m. on the first and third Monday of every month. Council work sessions also take place monthly, generally on the second Monday. On occasion throughout the year, a Council meeting may instead be scheduled on a Tuesday or Thursday due to a federal-holiday Monday or Election Day Tuesdays. Please consult the
Council calendar for the annual schedule.
Council Members
At its first meeting held under the new Charter, on April 16, 1956, Council formally adopted rules of procedure, which have, from time to time, been amended by resolution. The
Rules of the Council and Pertinent Charter Provisions (PDF) define Council meeting rules, ethics, roles and more.
The mayor is elected on a partisan ballot every four years concurrent with the Gubernatorial election. The mayor is the presiding officer of the City Council and appoints all Council committee members and members of many boards and commissions, with the approval of City Council.
The City Council consists of the mayor and 10 Council members, two from each of
Ann Arbor's five wards. One half of City Council is elected every two years, concurrent with the State General Election, in partisan elections.
