About the City Council

The Sammamish City Council is elected at-large by the community to represent their interests. The Council selects one of its members to serve as Mayor and another to serve as Deputy Mayor. It also appoints members to Advisory Boards, which advise the Council on various matters.

The City Council selects the City Manager to act as the chief executive officer of the City. The City Council sets policy for the governance of the City and relies on the City Manager to implement the Council's established policies and regulations.

Regular Council meetings are held on the first Tuesday and third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm, with a study session on the second Tuesday at 6:30 pm.  Agendas are posted to the City of Sammamish CivicWeb portal on the Friday preceding the meeting. Each Council meeting includes time for public comment (up to three minutes per person). Additional public comment may be available on certain agenda topics as part of a public hearing. Information about how to provide comment is included on the meeting agendas.
