City Council

Introduction

The City Council serves as the governing body for the City of Grand Prairie. Council members are elected by residents to set the
City’s policies, adopt ordinances, approve the annual budget, and authorize major projects and contracts. They work closely with the
City Manager and City staff to guide the City’s strategic direction and ensure high-quality services are delivered to the community.

Beyond policymaking, the Council is actively involved in community engagement. Members attend local events, support
neighborhood initiatives, and represent Grand Prairie at regional and state levels. Through open meetings, advisory boards, and
public input, the Council ensures that residents’ voices are reflected in City decisions.

The City Council plays a vital role in shaping Grand Prairie’s future and promoting a responsive, inclusive, and forward-thinking
government.
