City Council
Grants Pass is a council-manager form of government. The mayor and councilors volunteer their time to serve our community. Elected by city residents, they serve their respective wards.
Eight Councilors represent 4 wards and are elected at large to 4-year terms of office. The Council oversees city government and employs a City Manager who is in charge of the city staff and departments.
City Council Meetings and Workshops are held in the Council Chambers at 5th & NW A Streets in Grants Pass.
- Regular Meetings - 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m.
- Workshops - Mondays at 11:45 a.m. Workshops are informal, 75 to 90 minutes, and are generally staff presentations on a specific subject, agenda review, or other matters the Council has requested.
- Agendas, minutes, and videos are available in the Agenda Center.
