The Paden City Council serves as the legislative body of the city, working to enact laws, establish policies, and oversee the budget to support the needs of the community. Comprised of elected representatives from different wards, the council meets regularly to discuss city matters, address public concerns, and collaborate on initiatives that enhance the quality of life for residents.
Each council member brings unique perspectives to the table, ensuring that all areas of the city are represented fairly. They work alongside the Mayor’s Office to ensure transparent and effective governance, promoting development, infrastructure improvements, and community services.
The council encourages public participation, welcoming residents to attend meetings, voice their opinions, and stay informed about decisions that impact the city. For information on upcoming meetings or to contact your council representative, please refer to the city’s meeting schedule and directory.
