CITY COUNCIL

There are eight Council places (each identified with numbers running one through eight) in the City of Plano which includes the place of Mayor (Place six). All Council Members run and serve at large which means that all Council Members represent the entire City and likewise the entire City may vote for all eight places as they come due regardless of where they may reside in the City.

That aside, there is one distinction. Of the eight Council Places, candidates running and serving in Places one, two, three, and four must reside in the same numbered district. The map identifying the districts can be viewed here . Residing in the first four districts is the only distinction separating Council Members in Places one through four from Places five through eight.

Place One - District One
Place Two - District Two
Place Three - District Three
Place Four - District Four

The Plano City Council normally meets the second and fourth Mondays of each month with Executive Session beginning at 5 p.m., immediately followed by Preliminary Open Meeting, and the Regular Meeting at 7 p.m. in the Plano Municipal Center, Council Chamber, 1520 K Ave. During the month of July, Council meeting dates are revised.
