City Council

Purpose

The City Council serves as a link between the citizens of Framingham and their municipal government. Councilors help constituents by connecting them to resources, services, and City departments. They serve as advocates for all Framingham residents. Through their work, city councilors ensure that Framingham continues to be a great place to live, work, and play. The City Council is the sole legislative body of the City and is therefore responsible for passing all City ordinances. 

Members & Terms

 The City Council is made up of 11 members who shall exercise the legislative powers of Framingham. Two of these members are known as councilors-at-large and nine members are known as district councilors. Councilors at large serve a four-year term; each district councilor serves a two-year term. All council terms begin on the first day of January in the year following the election. No person shall hold the office of councilor-at-large for more than three consecutive full four four-year terms and no person shall hold the office of district councilor for more than 6 consecutive full two-year terms.
