City councils are the legislative bodies of city governments, responsible for passing local ordinances, approving budgets, and overseeing city services and policies.
City councils determine local policies on zoning, public safety, and community services that directly affect residents' quality of life.
City councils aren't state legislatures—their powers are limited to local matters and subject to state oversight.
