From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Toledo City Council is the governing body of the city of Toledo, Ohio since 1914.[1]

Council meets bi-weekly at One Government Center in downtown Toledo.

The Council consists of 12 members, 6 by district and 6 at large.

The Council President is the presiding officer and is selected amongst the council members.
