Mayor and Council
The Tyler City Council is comprised of a Mayor elected at-large and six single-member district Councilmembers who are elected for two-year terms to represent the residents of the City of Tyler. They can serve for a total of three terms.
The City Charter of Tyler provides for a Council-Manager form of local government. The Mayor and Councilmembers function as the policy-making body of the city's government, determining the overall goals, objectives, and direction for city services, and adopting the annual operating budgets for all City departments.
The Tyler City Council meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 9 a.m. in the City Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 212 N. Bonner Ave. Any person wishing to address the Council on agenda items must complete a speaker's card and submit it to the City Clerk. Speakers are asked to keep their remarks to a limit of three minutes. Tyler City Council meetings are broadcast live on Suddenlink Cable Channel 3 and then aired daily. Council meetings are also available on YouTube, Facebook, and our website.
Tyler residents' interest in their local government is both solicited and appreciated.
