The City of Newark is comprised of many different departments and divisions in order to meet the demands of our growing city.
Though each department has a very specific role in the development of the City of Newark, we work in a collaborative effort to ensure that all residents, businesses and visitors’ best interests are at the forefront of all our actions and activities.
The Newark City Council is composed of five Council Members. Four of the Council Members are elected to staggered four-year terms; the Mayor who also serves as the fifth Council Member is elected to serve a two-year term. There is an election in November of even numbered years for the Mayor’s seat and two Council Member seats.
The Mayor presides over the City Council meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. City Council meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 37101 Newark Boulevard. Live meetings are televised on local Cable Channel 26.
