Incorporated in October 1956, as a general law city, Saratoga now operates under a council/manager form of government with an elected five-member, non-partisan council which functions as the policy-making governmental body.
City Council
The council members, elected every two years, serve staggered four-year terms. The Mayor and Vice Mayor are elected by the City Council each year. Members of the City Council appoint the City Manager, City Attorney, and all volunteer commissioners. Meetings are held on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m.
