2025 Election Results

City Council Elections

Members of the City Council are elected every two years to staggered four-year terms. People interested in running will file for a specific position, but all positions are elected at large – meaning all voters have the opportunity to elect all positions, and all elected candidates represent the entire community.

• Mayor (term expires December 31, 2026)
• Position 1 (term expires December 31, 2026)
• Position 2 (term expires December 31, 2028)
• Position 3 (term expires December 31, 2026)
• Position 4 (term expires December 31, 2028)
• Position 5 (term expires December 31, 2026)
• Position 6 (term expires December 31, 2028)

All positions, including the mayor, are term limited to 12-years in any 20-year period. However, if a mayor has previously served two full terms as a city councilor, they may serve two consecutive terms as mayor, potentially allowing someone up to 16 years total on the City Council in that scenario.
