The city's primary authority resides in the [[city council]] which approves ordinances, resolutions, amendments, and contracts. The city council consists of five members with one member elected from each of the four city [[Wards of the United States|wards]], and the fifth member as an at-large member. Each council member serves for a two-year term and is eligible to serve for four years.
