City Council meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers located in the City Hall complex at 4045 Palos Verdes Drive North. Meetings are open to the public, and residents are encouraged to attend.

Council Members serve on a voluntary basis, without financial compensation."
