City Council Responsibilities

Holding an elected office requires a strong commitment to the community. There are city and state codes that legally define a council member's role. This outline is meant to be a description of what a council member’s role is in Duvall. 

The Duvall City Council is an elected body of 7 members. The council’s main responsibility is to set policy for the city. The City Council also has an important role in the budget process. The mayor is responsible for ensuring that policies set by the council are carried out. Each council member has responsibility for overseeing policy issues in some aspect of city government. In addition to keeping current on local policy issues, council members also need to stay informed on issues at the state and county level that could affect the city.
