City Council

The Woburn City Council is the legislative body of the City of Woburn.

There are nine members of the City Council. The city is divided into seven wards. Each ward is represented by a Ward Alderman elected by the residents of the ward. There are two Aldermen At Large elected by the residents of the entire city. Each Alderman and Alderman At Large has one vote on all matters before the City Council.

The Aldermen are elected on the first Tuesday in November in odd-numbered years. All Alderman seats are open for election every two years.They take office on the first Monday in January of the following year. The President of the City Council is elected by and from the members at the organizational meeting in Janaury and serves for two years in that position.

The City Council also has eighteen committees made up of Aldermen. The committees consist of five or three members, except for the Committee on Liaison which is all nine members. The President appoints the chair and members of each committee shortly after the organizational meeting. The President is chair of the Committee on Liaison and an ex officio member of each committee.
