Yonkers City Council

The Yonkers City Council is the legislative branch of Yonkers and uses a weak Mayor-Council government. The city elects six councilmen, each serving four year terms and an at-large member which is called the City Council president, all serving for four years at a time and subject to two-term limits. Regular meetings are held every Tuesday of the month, with extra meetings to be held other days, if planned. The city is largest in Westchester County, New York and fourth largest in the state.
