City video explains Santa Rosa City Council elections and meeting logistics

A city-produced video for Santa Rosa residents explains how City Council elections work and where to find meeting information, saying the council has seven members who are elected by district to four‑year terms. Presenter introduced the series and encouraged residents to engage in the upcoming election.

The video, identified as the first in a series about the council and its elections, notes that although council members are elected by district they "work together to serve the entire community" and set citywide policy under the city charter. Presenter 2 summarized the council's structure: "Santa Rosa City Council is made up of 7 city council members, elected by registered voters from within their city council district to serve 4 year terms."

A staff member provided meeting logistics, saying council meetings "happen no less than twice a month on Tuesdays," are open to the public and "usually begin at 4PM in Council Chamber at City Hall." The video also directed viewers to find agendas online or posted at City Hall agenda kiosks.

The presenters said the series will continue, with the next video covering city council member responsibilities and how to run for office. Viewers were asked to visit the links shown on screen for more information about attending meetings and this year's election.

The video is informational and does not include motions, votes, or other formal council action.
