Council

The City of Leon Council acts as the legislative branch of our government, as well as its policy-making body. The Council looks to the city's goals, major projects and infrastructure improvements ranging from community growth to land use to finances and strategic planning. The Council's goal is to do the very best to represent their constituents after they've seen to the needs of the city as a whole.

The Governing Body consists of the mayor and 5 Council Members. Regular meeting of the Governing Body is held on the first Monday of each month at 6:30pm. In the event the regular meeting day falls on any legal holiday or any day observed as a holiday by the City Offices, the meeting will be held the next evening at 6:30pm. The Mayor and Council would like to encourage you to attend these meetings and participate in your local government.
