Pasadena is a charter city with a city council - city manager form of government.  Pasadena has 7 City Council districts and beginning in May 1999, a Mayor elected at-large.  Each district elects a Councilmember for a four-year term and the Mayor is elected in a city-wide election for a four-year term.   The  Vice-Mayor is a Councilmember selected by the Council, traditionally for two one-year terms.

The goals of the City Council are to:

• Make water and power utilities market-competitive

• Assure a safe and secure community

• Foster economic prosperity

• Create neighborhood vitality and livability

• Focus on planning, programming and reinvesting in our parks and parklands

• Create a more effective, cost efficient government

• Improve our public schools.
