The Marlborough City Council is comprised of 11 councilors, four who are Councilors-at-large elected city-wide and seven of whom are Ward Councilors. Each Ward Councilor is elected by the voters in his or her particular Ward. City Councilors serve a two-year term of office, co-terminus with the Mayor who is the Chief Executive Officer of the City.
Under Marlborough’s Plan B Charter, the City Council serves as the Legislative branch. It is responsible for enacting laws, reviewing the annual operating budget, confirming mayoral appointments, and providing the necessary balance to the actions of the Executive branch of government. The City Council may not increase any amount in or the total of the annual budget nor add thereto any amount for a purpose not included therein except on recommendation of the Mayor.
As the City of Marlborough prepares to enter a new legislative year, the City Council remains committed to providing a system of municipal government that recognizes the careful expenditure of tax dollars, the responsible enactment of reasonable laws, and the shared interests of fair and equitable levels of public services.
Bi-monthly meetings of the City Council are held at 8:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, 2nd floor, City Hall on Monday evenings. Meetings are open to the public.
