The City of North Plains operates under the council-manager form of city government. The Mayor and six City Councilors are elected by registered voters who reside in the City, and they develop the policies that direct the operation of the City. The Mayor and Council hire the City Manager to implement their policy direction and manage the operations of the City. The City Charter provides the authority under which the City operates and outlines the roles of the Mayor, Council, and City Manager.
City Council meets on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at 7:00 pm at the Jessie Mays Community Center, 30975 NW Hillcrest Drive, North Plains. Currently, all City Council meetings are being conducted in-person while also encouraging live public attendance via Zoom as an option. Visit the City’s online calendar for Zoom links for upcoming meetings.
All members of the public are welcome to attend and make public comments at the beginning of City Council meetings. Comments can also be submitted in advance by email, mail, or dropping them off at City Hall.
