Elected officials include a mayor and seven council members.  The mayor is elected to serve a four-year term.  One council member is elected to a four-year term from each of the six council wards of the city.  A seventh "At-Large" councilor is elected to serve a two-year term through 2009.  Beginning in 2010 (and thereafter), the At-Large council position will serve a four-year term.

The council wards were restructured in 2012 based on the 2010 census so that population is similar in each ward.  Read the summary of the revision to the council ward boundaries.
