The City Council is the City's five-member governing body whose members are elected by district to four-year overlapping terms in general municipal elections. The Mayor and Vice Mayor each serve one-year terms and are selected annually by the City Council in December. The City Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney as well as members of the City’s numerous Commissions and Committees. The City Manager appoints all executive and management level positions. City staff report to one of six departments: the City Manager’s Office, Administrative Services, Community Development, Library and Community Services, Police, and Public Works, which includes Menlo Park Municipal Water. Fire protection and sanitary services are provided by separate special districts. The City is supported by approximately 296 full-time equivalent employees with over 55 funds and a total expenditure budget of $216 million.
