Terms of Office
Per the voters approved Ordinance No. 2096 (PDF) the city has established term limits for City Council, City Clerk and City Treasurer, collectively referred to as "Public Official." No person may serve no more than two consecutive terms as a public official. Any person will again become eligible to hold public office as a public official provided not less than two years have or will have elapsed between the most recent date of such person's previous service as a public official and the effective date of such person's most recent election or appointment to public office. After such a two year absence, a new two consecutive term limit applies.
Senate Bill No. 415 (SB415) approved in 2015 prohibits local governments from holding their elections other than on a statewide election date. As a result, the City Council adopted Ordnance No. 2145 (PDF) changing the General Municipal Election from March in odd-numbered years to March in even-numbered years, to coincide with statewide election dates.

Municipal elections are held every two years, on the first Tuesday in March of even-numbered years. Upcoming election dates are:
- March 5, 2020 - Positions: Three Council Members
- March 8, 2022 - Positions: Two Council Members, City Clerk and City Treasurer
