Historic places and a river-city identity, carried into clear materials. LCP coordinates approved signs, print, mail and web for Colusa. Council: Five members; staggered four-year terms. Mayor: Council-appointed. Heritage resource: Heritage Preservation Commission. Colusa's City Council page explicitly states that residents elect five Council members to staggered four-year terms, and that Council appoints a Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem each November. That distinction is central to accurate campaign language: the public elects council members, while the Mayor is selected by the Council. City pages also provide contact details, meeting information and several appointed commissions with separate roles. The Council is the elected office. Colusa's official Council, City Clerk & City Treasurer page says citizens elect five City Council members to staggered four-year terms. This is the clearest foundation for explaining the municipal ballot: the elected Council seats are the direct voter contests described in the City material. The page does not describe district-based seats, so campaign materials should avoid asserting district boundaries without separate authoritative confirmation. The City describes Council as the legislative and policy branch, responsible for overall policy direction and work related to public safety, infrastructure and long-term financial stability. For context about current discussions, its page links to Council assignments and meeting schedules. Regular meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday evenings in Council Chambers at City Hall, 425 Webster Street. Mayor is selected by Council, not a separate voter contest. Colusa's City page says Council appoints a Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem each November. It also states that the Mayor presides over Council meetings and has one vote, as do the other Council members. This explicit selection rule should shape campaign copy: do not describe the Mayor position as directly elected by Colusa voters based on these sources. The current Council page provides member and Clerk contact details and links to a Notice of Council Reorganization. Because assignments and officeholders can change, refer to the City's current Council page for names and roles, and verify the reorganization information before using it as current. The Clerk is listed at cityclerk@cityofcolusa.gov and (530) 458-4941 ext. 3111. Commission service is another form of local participation. Colusa's community information describes a Planning Commission that holds public hearings on conditional use permits and subdivision or parcel map applications, and recommends General Plan, Specific Plan and zoning revisions to Council. Commissioners are appointed by Council to four-year terms, with meetings listed for the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. The City gives the meeting location as Council Chambers, 425 Webster Street, and links to current agendas and minutes. The same page describes a Heritage Preservation Commission focused on designated historic districts, resources and properties, and a Parks, Recreation and Trees Commission involved in parks, trees and recreation programming. These appointed bodies are not elected Council seats. For a campaign speaking about development, historic preservation or public spaces, their distinct roles and public materials offer useful local context. Heritage information and campaign artwork stay clearly identified. Colusa’s Heritage Preservation Commission reviews matters affecting designated historic districts, resources and properties, while its Planning Commission handles a different set of land-use applications. Bring the specific official item if a handout or website describes that process. The City Hall photo is a local place reference, not campaign client work. LCP can keep the confirmed name, office and disclaimer consistent across shorter signs and more detailed printed pieces.
