About the Pasco City Council
The City of Pasco functions under a "Council-Manager" system of government, as prescribed by Chapter 35.18 of the Revised Code of Washington. In this governance framework, the seven Councilmembers constitute the elected governing body of the City. These Councilmembers are charged with the appointment and oversight of the City Manager, who manages the daily operations of the City.
- Pasco Municipal Code Title 2 covers the duties and compensation of the City Council.
- The Council sets goals every two years; learn about the City Council goals for 2022-2023.

Six Councilmembers are each responsible for and elected by a specific district within the City, while one Councilmember holds an "At Large" position, elected by residents from all areas. Every two years, or in the event of a vacancy, the Council elects from among its members to serve as Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem.
