Council-Mayor Form of Government
Dublin is governed by the Council-Manager form of government.
The seven-member City Council reviews and enacts legislation and establishes long-range policies for the City. Four Council members are elected from wards and three are elected as at-large representatives. Terms are four years.
The Mayor and Vice Mayor, elected by Council from among its members, serve two-year terms. The Mayor presides over City Council meetings, oversees the proceedings of Mayor's Court and performs ceremonial civic duties. City Council generally meets the first and third Mondays of the month at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers, Dublin Municipal Building, 5200 Emerald Parkway.
