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.
