Legislative Branch. The City Council, composed of nine members elected at large for four-year terms, is the City’s legislative body.

The Ombudsman is appointed for a term of 10 years by a two-thirds majority of City Council members for the purpose of investigating any official act of any agency (except elected officers) which aggrieves any person.
