The Boise City Council is the legislative body for Boise City with policy setting and budgetary authority.
During the 2020 legislative session, the State passed a bill (HB413) requiring cities with populations over 100,000 people to create districts for City Council elections. The current Boise City Council is made up of three at-large council members - Council Member Bageant, Council Member Clegg and Council Member Hallyburton - who were all elected in 2019 and three district council members elected in 2021. Council Member Willits represents District 1, Council Member Sánchez represents District 3, and Council Member Woodings represents District 5.
In 2023, all six council districts will be up for election using a map that will be updated using the 2020 census data. In 2023, odd-numbered districts will run for four-year terms and even-numbered districts will run for two-year terms. Learn more about council districts.
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.
