The terms of the offices are for four years and candidates must be registered voters and city residents. The Mayor and City Council terms are staggered, with the Mayor and one Councilmember elected at one election and three Councilmembers elected at the next election. The City Treasurer is elected at the same election as the Mayor.   The next General Municipal Election will be in November 2024.  The offices being voted on in the November 2024 election will include Mayor, City Treasurer, and District 1 Councilmember.
