City Council
and Vinita City Leadership
As the legislative body, the Vinita City Council is responsible for:
- Setting City policy through ordinances and resolutions
- Adopting the City’s budget
- Passing Ordinances which become City laws
- Making performance auditing decisions
- Monitors the operation and performance of city agencies
- And holds regular oversight hearings on city departments to determine how programs are working and whether budgeted funds are being spent well.
In its decision-making roles, the City Council actively involves the public through its regular public meetings. In addition, the Council acts in a quasi-judicial role in hearing appeals regarding actions taken by a number of City agencies.
