This person holds one of five district seats on Glendora's City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land-use decisions. The term is four years. Council members choose one of their own to serve as mayor, presiding over meetings but casting only one vote like any other member. There's no limit on how many terms a councilmember may serve.
