Background
The Los Banos City Council is the elected governing body for the City. The City Council is made up of the Mayor and four Council seats. The Council Members serve four-year terms while the Mayor serves a two-year term. Along with the Mayor, two of the four Council seats are up for election at the general election on even-numbered years. The City Clerk and City Treasurer are also elected positions and serve four-year terms.
