City council meetings must be open to the public by law. A city council has local, elected representatives. The members of a city council work together to pass laws. Under most municipal charters, city councils must approve major public works, such as the construction of sports stadiums. City council members address the concerns of citizens.
The mayor and city council serve part-time, with day-to-day administration in the hands of a professional city manager. The system is most common among medium-sized cities from around 25,000 to several hundred thousand, usually rural and suburban municipalities.
