Roswell's City Council is elected by the residents of Roswell to provide the vision and policy necessary to meet the needs of our citizens and community.
Each Council Member is elected by the entire City and serves "at large" with post assignments rather than districts. Each January, the Council chooses a new Mayor Pro Tem, who assumes all duties and powers of the Mayor during the Mayor's absence or disability.
Oversight of operations of the City is through three committees comprised of the City Administrator, City Council, and the Mayor. The Three committes are: Community Development and Transportation; Public Works and Public Safety; and Recreation and Parks, Administration and Finance. Committees meet monthly and are open to the public.
It is the duty of the City Council to set policy for the operations of the City, to set millage rates for property taxes, to approve budgets of the various departments, to pass ordinances and to hear and act on requests for rezoning and annexation.
Council Meetings are held each Monday in Council Chambers, Roswell City Hall, 38 Hill Street, 7:30PM. The first and third Mondays are Regular Council Meetings; the second Monday addresses only land and zoning issues. Work Sessions are convened on an as needed basis. The fifth Monday, when it occurs, is an Open Forum meeting where citizens may address Mayor and Council on any concern.
