             Council

              The City Council is the governing body for the City of Sansom Park. It sets policies, adopts ordinances and
              the annual budget, and makes key decisions that guide the city’s direction and priorities. Councilmembers
              represent the interests of residents, hold public meetings, and work with city staff to ensure effective gov-
              ernance.
              The City pays its Councilmembers a small stipend or allowance to compensate them for their time, prepara-
              tion, and participation in meetings and official duties. This funding comes from the General Fund because
              the Council’s work is central to the city’s leadership and decision-making processes, which benefit the entire
              community.
