City of Stockton City Council

The citizens of Stockton have been represented by a city council since 1850. Currently, the government is run on the council-manager model, with a seven-member council. The six councilmembers are elected by voters in the district they represent, and the mayor is elected by all voters. The council and the mayor set priorities for each fiscal year (read more here), and individual members serve on various committees and commissions.

The council meets for at least one regularly scheduled meeting each month. Study sessions and special meetings may occur as well. Members of the public are welcome to attend city council meetings. Meetings are also streamed on the City of Stockton website and can be viewed on Stockton GovTV, which is aired on local area cable Comcast Channel 97 and AT&T U-verse Channel 99 menu.
