City council meetings must be open to the public by law. A city council has local, elected representatives. The members of a city council work together to pass laws. Under most municipal charters, city councils must approve major public works, such as the construction of sports stadiums. City council members address the concerns of citizens.
In most cases, a city manager occupies an intermediary position between the community's staff and its elected mayor and council. The mayor and council set policy for the community and pass legislation, while the city manager provides the administrative skills to make those laws and policies a reality.
