The City of Boise has a strong Mayor-Council form of government in which the Mayor acts as the city executive, overseeing day-to-day operations of the city, while the six-member City Council serves as the legislative body with policy setting and budgetary authority.
Council Members are elected at-large by popular vote of all of the residents of the City of Boise. While they are elected to a particular seat, those seats are not determined geographically. The offices of both mayor and city council are non-partisan and elections are held in odd-numbered years.
Regular meetings of the City Council are held on the third floor of City Hall every Tuesday beginning at 6 p.m. except on the fourth Tuesday of each month, when the meeting begins at noon.
