The Vancouver City Council works to make decisions that benefit our community today and for the future. The City Council has seven members, including the Mayor, who are elected at large for a four-year term. The City is managed by a Council/Manager form of government where the City Council acts as the legislative and policy-making body and the City Manager is appointed by the Council to manage the daily administration of the City.
