Council Members Juggle Multiple Roles

Posted on July 12, 2024


City Council

Ever wonder what City Council members do? For starters, councilmembers make decisions about a wide range of topics, including approving the city’s budget, hearing appeals to Planning Commission decisions, setting policy, approving revocable licenses, and responding to resident concerns.

The five councilmembers also split responsibility for sitting on 23 different committees. Some are local, such as our Finance Committee and Parks, Open Space and Lanes. Some are shared with Tiburon, including the Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Relief Authority and The Ranch. And some are county-wide, such as the Transportation Authority of Marin, Marin Clean Energy and the Richardson Bay Regional Authority.
