The Anaheim City Council is the legislative branch of government for the city of Anaheim, California.

Contents

Structure

The city council is made up of the mayor, who is elected at-large, and six city council members who are elected by-district. Both the mayor and city council members serve four-year terms. All are limited to two consecutive terms, and a person who serves one term as a councilmember followed immediately by one term as mayor is considered to have served two consecutive terms under the term limits provision of the Anaheim city charter.

Anaheim has a council–manager government, in which the council appoints a city manager to oversee the administrative operations of the city, implement the council's policies, and advise the council.

The most recent general election was held in November 2024 for council districts 1, 4, and 5; the next elections for these seats will be held in 2028 General elections. The most recent general election for Mayor and council districts 2, 3, and 6 was last held in November 2022; the next election for these seats will be in 2026. The mayor and city council seats are all officially non-partisan by state law, although most members have a party preference.

Current members

The mayor is presiding officer of the city council and elected at-large. The other members of the city council are elected from single-member districts and currently includes Councilmembers Ryan Balius, Carlos A. Leon, Natalie Rubalcava, Norma Campos Kurtz, Kristen M. Maahs, and Natalie Meeks. The City of Anaheim has a detailed map of council districts on its website. [1]
