Who is on the City Council?
The City Council is made up of five members, who are elected at-large, meaning there are no specific districts in which a candidate runs for office. Each of the Council members represents the entire constituency. The Mayor is elected by the members of the Council to preside for a one-year period of time. Council members are elected for four-year overlapping terms.

- Old Town Local Review Board
For information about what the Commissions do and when they meet, please see Commissions.
How do I get appointed to a Commission?
When vacancies occur on a Commission, the City Council directs the City Clerk to advertise the openings. A notice is placed in the local newspapers, posted in the City’s regular posting places (City Hall, the Library, the Temecula Community Center on Pujol Street, and the Chamber of Commerce), and is included on the web site's Commission Positions page. Any citizen residing within the city limits is encouraged to complete a Commission application form at that time.
