City Council
The City of Lincoln is a general law city incorporated on August 18, 1890. The City is governed by the City Council/City Manager form of government. A five-member City Council is elected at large to four-year terms to oversee the City operations and to guide the future development of the City. Councilmember terms are staggered so that a measure of continuity is maintained in the transition from one Council to the next.
The City utilizes a mayoral rotation system to determine which Council members shall be chosen to serve as Mayor and Vice Mayor. The Mayor acts as the chief executive of the City in performing all acts required to be performed under the laws of the State of California and our Municipal Code. The Mayor is the official head of the City for all ceremonial purposes, by the Courts for the purpose of serving civil process and by the Governor of the State for military purposes. The Mayor has a voice and vote in all proceedings of the City Council and presides over City Council meetings.
The City Council is responsible for setting policies, passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committee members and hiring the City Manager and City Attorney. The City Council also serves as the Board of Directors for the Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Lincoln and the Lincoln Public Financing Authority.
City Council meetings are held at Lincoln City Hall, 600 6th Street, Lincoln unless designated otherwise on the agenda. Council meetings are open to the public and residents are encouraged to address the City Council on all matters of importance. The City Council regularly meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at 6 pm (except November and December when the meeting on the 4th Tuesday is cancelled due to holidays) and, if needed, has a work session meeting the first Tuesday of every month at 4:30pm.
Public Input and Participation at Meetings
Submit a Speaker Card to the City Clerk prior to the start of the meeting for both non-agenda and agenda items. Completing a speaker card is not required, but helpful in managing the public comment periods.
Those wishing to address the City Council on an item appearing on the agenda will be called upon at the appropriate time during the item’s consideration. The Mayor will call upon speakers who submitted speaker cards, those in the audience (in person), and those attending via Zoom.
Please note that comments from the audience without first being recognized by the Mayor may be disregarded or ruled out of order.
Time Allotted For Speaking (subject to change by the Mayor)
All speakers' time will be limited to three (3) minutes, unless extended by the Mayor. No person may yield speaking time to another person.
General Public Comments
All comments or questions should be addressed to the Mayor and in most cases, the City Council is prohibited from discussing or taking action on any item not appearing on the posted agenda, but may engage in brief discussion, provide direction to City staff, or schedule items for future meetings.
How to Submit Written Comments
Written comments should be emailed to cityclerk@lincolnca.gov with mention of the meeting date and related agenda item. Emailed comments will be forwarded to the Council and will be treated as a public record.
Written handouts personally delivered to the City Clerk’s table at the City Council meeting will be distributed to the City Council and incorporated into the record for the meeting.
In addition to appointments on the advisory bodies above, councilmembers are appointed to a number of local and regional boards and committees. View a full list of city councilmember appointments.
