Governing Body

The City Council of Concord is the governing body of the city. There are five elected members, each serving four-year terms. The City Council meets regularly to discuss and vote on a variety of issues, and to give direction to city staff on policy matters. Part of that process is to receive public input through public comment and public hearings.

City council members represent all of the residents of Concord, but they are elected by the voters in each of the five city council voting districts. City council members live in the districts which vote for them. For information on district based voting in Concord, visit 2018 District Elections and Redistricting 2022.
