City Council 

The City Council is the policy-making body of the City and serves as the link between the residents of Toledo and their municipal government. The Toledo City Council meets regularly on the first (1st), third (3rd) and fourth (4th) Wednesday of every month beginning at 6:00 p.m. To serve on the City Council the applicant must be a resident within the Toledo city limits and be qualified elector (registered voter). 

Appointed Boards and Committees 

Contribution Committee 

The Contribution Committee serves as an advisory committee to the City Council and is comprised of five members with one ‘at-large’ position which is held by a citizen. The Committee typically meets once a year to review requests for funding assistance from local organizations that benefit the community and provides a recommendation to the City Council. Funding is provided by a portion of alcohol, tobacco and marijuana taxes.

Budget Committee 

The Budget Committee is an advisory Committee to the City Council. It is comprised of an equal number of citizens and City Council members. The Committee typically meets annually in the spring between April and May to review the City’s budget and make a recommendation to the City Council. Members of the committee must reside within the City limits and be qualified electors. Each term is three years.
