City Council members are elected "at large" and serve as liaisons to city departments as assigned by the Mayor. One Council member serves as Mayor Pro-Tem, determined by a vote of all five members. The Mayor Pro-Tem assumes all the duties and powers of the Mayor in his/her absence.
The City Council executes all rights and powers granted the city through its city charter under the self-governing provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia. The duties of the City Council include approving all city expenditures, setting the millage rate for property taxes, approving the city's budget, passing ordinances, establishing policies and procedures, and hearing all rezoning and annexation requests.
