City Council Meetings: Why do we have City Council meetings?

The City of Henderson received its Charter in 1965 from the Nevada State Legislature. The City Charter established a Council/Manager form of government, in which the Mayor and Council are vested with the legislative power of the city. The Mayor and City Council decide, by majority vote, on all land use issues, business licenses, city ordinances and expenditures of city funds. Except as otherwise provided by law, all sessions and all proceedings of the City Council must be public. You may also view the City Charter
