All major changes in direction or emphasis and organizational changes must be approved by the City Council. The City Council sets the policy and adopts the City budget. The City Manager and staff enforce the laws and implement the programs and policies which are established by the City Council.
San Bruno has an elected five member City Council. The Mayor, one of the members of the City Council, is directly elected for a two-year term. Other members are elected for four-year staggered terms with elections held in November of odd numbered years. The Mayor chairs the Council meetings, issues proclamations of recognition, represents the City in certain intergovernmental affairs, and is the ceremonial head of the City. Although the Mayor is expected to provide political leadership on City issues, the Mayor has no greater authority than any other Council member. The Mayor and Council as a collective body is the power of authority. The Mayor and Council members have no authority as individuals; they must act by a majority to achieve their objectives.
