About the City Council
Pleasant Hill is a General Law City with a five-member City Council on staggered four-year terms elected by the registered voters. Elections are held each November of even-numbered years. The City has a Council-Manager form of government much like a publicly traded corporation. Under this form, the Council is responsible for legislative functions such as establishing policy, passing local ordinances, voting on appropriations, and developing an overall vision, similar to a corporate board of directors. The City Council appoints a City Manager as its advisor, to oversee the City’s administrative operations, and to implement the City’s policies. The Manager position is similar to that of corporate chief executive officer (CEO), providing professional management for the board of directors. The Mayor is annually selected from among the City Council, similar to a non-executive chairman in a corporation. The Mayor approves City Council agendas and acts as the presiding officer at City Council meetings facilitating and guiding the meetings and ensuring the meetings run smoothly, fairly, and in compliance with the City Council Rules and Procedures.
