The Council is the legislative branch of city government and enacts ordinances, adopts budgets, and determines policies for the City.  The Mayor presides at the Council Meetings.  The Council  elects  a Mayor Pro Tempore who presides at meetings,  or in other capacities,  in the absence of the Mayor.

Council actions can take the form of ordinances and resolutions . An ordinance is generally a legislative act of the Council to adopt laws, statutes and regulations for the city.  An ordinance must be approved by a majority vote of the Council and must be published in the local newspaper to become official.  A resolution is generally a formal statement of decision, opinion or determination of policy adopted by the Council to exercise ministerial functions. A motion is generally a procedural action in a Council meeting, in order to formally consider resolutions or ordinances, file reports or request that certain action be taken by the administrative branch of the city. A motion requires a second and, with certain exceptions, majority approval. 

Council Meetings are held on the first and third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in Wetumpka City Hall. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.   All agenda items must be finalized  with the Mayor by noon on Friday before the Monday meeting.
