City Council and Departments

Elected Officials

The elected and appointed officials who serve the City of Riceville are a dedicated group who put serving the public above all else.  The mayor and council are elected to 4-year terms.  Elections are held every 2 years, which allows the council terms to be staggered.  We have no wards or precincts, so everyone runs at large.

City Council Committees

City Council Committees are intended to enhance communication between the City Council and City staff at the early phase of the development of significant items affecting public policy questions. City Council Committee members develop and maintain a deeper level of knowledge on matters of a technical nature which might affect public policy in order to increase the positive exchange of information and discussions between City Council members, City staff, and the public.
