Central Point is a full-service city operating under the council-manager form of government. The Mayor and six Councilors serve as the City’s policy-making and legislative body. The City Council also hears and decides land-use appeals and adopts the City’s annual budget along side the Budget Committee. The Mayor and Council serve four-year terms. There are four wards and two at-large positions.

The Council appoints and evaluates a professional city manager who serves as the executive head of city government, with responsibility for preparing and administering the annual budget, supervising the City’s departments, advising the Council on policy issues and current developments, implementing Council decisions, and providing leadership to managers and staff in achieving Council goals and priorities.

The City Council meets in regular session on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers.  Matters are considered by the Council in the order of the printed agenda and the meeting is conducted in accordance with the State of Oregon Public Meetings Law. Council Members also have study sessions on the 3rd Monday to discuss future agenda items or items that may be happening around the area and of concern to Central Point and our citizens.

If you would like to participate in a Council Meeting the following rules apply:

To Speak on Subjects not on the Agenda

Under agenda items Public Appearances, the Mayor will ask if anyone from the audience would like to address the Council. This is the time when matters NOT on the printed agenda may be brought to the Council's attention. You will be asked to sign your name and address on the form provided. Then begin by giving your name and address and stating your views. Council action on your request is unlikely because the necessary ordinance, resolution, or background information will not have been prepared. It is the Council's wish that matters not on the agenda first be pursued with an administrative department. 

To Speak at Public Hearings

Public hearings are listed on the agenda. The Mayor will identify the subject and announce when the public hearing is open. If you wish to speak, sign in at the podium with your name and address. Begin by giving your name and address and then state your views. Following your statement the Council may want to ask you questions; therefore, you should wait a moment before returning to your seat. The Mayor will announce when the hearing is closed and there after no further statements will be heard by the Council.
