City Council Candidates 2024

What's the job: City Council

A city council member in a city with a city manager is responsible for setting policy priorities, passing ordinances, and representing the community's interests.

The council provides oversight on municipal services and the city's budget but does not manage daily operations. Instead, the city manager, appointed by the council, is the chief administrator of the city.

Council members also engage with constituents, address community concerns, and work collaboratively to shape the city's long-term vision and development.

The City Council consists of five representatives chosen by the constituency of their respective districts. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore rotate on a bi-annual schedule determined by seniority based on a council member’s continuous service on the City Council without having served as Mayor. The second most senior council member will serve as Mayor Pro Tempore.

City Council meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m. (closed session) and 6:00 p.m. (open session) at the City of Redlands, City Council Chambers, 35 Cajon Street.
