Common Council

The Common Council (also known as the City Council) is the Legislative Body for the City of Plymouth.

The Council is made up of seven elected representatives: four from each city district (elected by residents of those districts) and three at-large representatives, elected by the entire City. Each council member serves a four-year term and must reside within the city limits (for at least the past year). The Council has many roles and responsibilities including approving the yearly budget, setting ordinances (laws) for the City, and changing/implementing policies for city employees.
