Akron City Council is made up of 13 elected members with one from each of Akron’s 10 wards and three at-large council members.

The body is responsible for the deliberation and vote for all ordinances and resolutions that come before the board through a committee process.

Council meets each Monday evening at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers on the third floor of the Akron Municipal Building, 166 South High Street. City Council does not meet when a national holiday falls on a Monday, and recesses the month of August and the last two weeks of December.

City Council operates under a committee system with 9 standing committees. Committee members are appointed by Council leadership.

Matters that come before council are assigned by the President to the appropriate committee. The agenda and new legislation list summarizes all legislation to be considered by each committee that week.

Committees hold open meetings on Monday afternoons to discuss the issues before them and make reports and recommendations to the full body of council.

Committees meet as needed and only when they have pending legislation.

A caucus and special meetings of city council may be called by the Mayor, the President of Council or by four council members, provided 24 hours notice has been given to each council member and to the public. Only items on that notice may be considered at the Special Meeting.
