The City Council includes three members elected to represent wards and two elected at-large. Terms for the mayor and council are staggered for election in even years, with the three ward seats up for vote together and the two at-large and mayoral seats expiring two years later.[4] Beginning in 2010, elections for Mayor and Council were shifted from non-partisan to partisan.[35][36]
