The City Council is the
Legislative Branch of government and is composed of
nine (9) elected members
serving two year terms. Three (3) Council Members represent
the city as a whole and six (6) are elected by the
residents
of each of the six council districts within the City
of Troy. The at-large council candidate receiving the
greatest number of votes in the general election is
designated Council President. The City Council as a
body meets on the first Thursday of every month.
The City Council works with the Executive Branch of
government within the city to enact laws and pass other
legislation that serves as a framwork for the ongoing
operation of city management. Vital to this process
is citizen input and Council Members strive to be responsive
to their constituents while acting in the best interests
of the city as a whole. Much of the work of the City
Council is conducted through the Committee Process and
monthly meetings with department heads throughout the
city. Taxpayers and residents are afforded a formal
opportunity to voice their opinions by attending regularly
scheduled public hearings before Council Members vote
on local laws which change the City Charter. City Council
Members are entrusted with the privilege and challenge
of helping to improve the City of Troy for the betterment
of all its residents.
City Council Meetings
City
Council meetings are held on the first Thursday of
every month at 7:00pm in the Christ Church United Methodist at 35 State Street. The meetings are open to
the public. There is a public forum period before
the business portion of every meeting where you can
address the Council members and briefly speak your
mind on any topic pertinent
to city government.
