Ordinance 2433 (pending San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approval) 3 CITY COUNCIL The City Council consists of seven members, elected by the voters of the City to staggered terms of four years each. Members receive $750 per month compensation per Resolution 14133. The City Council meets regularly on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, and may call additional special sessions. Section 10 of the Charter provides that "all powers granted to and vested in Redwood City by law or provisions of this Charter shall, except as herein otherwise provided be exercised by the Council, to be designated the ‘Council of Redwood City’. The Council shall be the governing body of the City and, subject to the express limitations of this Charter, shall be vested with all the powers necessary or convenient for a complete and adequate system of municipal government, consistent with the constitution of the State, including all powers now or hereafter granted by general law to councils or boards of trustees of municipalities." The City Council is the only body elected directly by the residents of Redwood City. As the legislative branch of the government, it makes final decisions on all major city matters. The Council adopts ordinances and resolutions necessary for efficient governmental operations, approves the budget, and acts as a board of appeals. It appoints the City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk and also the members of the City's Boards, Committees and Commissions. 4 CITY COUNCIL Correspondence to the entire Council may be sent to: 1017 MIDDLEFIELD ROAD REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA 94063 (650) 780-7220 (650) 261-9102 (fax) [email protected] Council Members Telephone Term Expires JOHN D.
