Sausalito sits in Marin County just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and incorporated on September 4, 1893. Its community page highlights natural beauty, history, the arts and waterfront culture. City Hall and the Public Library share 420 Litho Street, off Caledonia Street. The library belongs to the MARINet consortium; Parks and Recreation publishes the quarterly Sausalito and Its Community magazine with classes and events. These are useful local starting points for a community calendar or resource directory. At-large representation, with a council-selected mayor. The five-member City Council is elected at large on a nonpartisan basis to staggered four-year terms. Each year the Council elects a councilmember as mayor and another as vice mayor; this is not a separate direct mayoral election. A council production brief should use the citywide office title rather than inventing a council district. Check the exact title on each proof, especially when a biography mentions previous service as mayor: holding that title and running for an elected council seat are different statements. Municipal notices and a coordinated production plan. The City Clerk’s Local Elections page brings together municipal notices and candidate information. Its November 3, 2026 section calls an election for two Council seats. For another cycle, use the current Clerk notice and confirmed office details. LCP can carry your supplied biography, photograph and disclosures through a citywide Council package: signs, event handouts, direct mail and matching web artwork. Bring piece sizes, quantities, delivery contacts and the release schedule so proofs and production can be planned together. Meeting information and county information need separate links. Sausalito’s Council page provides meeting and agenda resources and directs readers to the actual calendar for upcoming meetings. Marin County’s candidate guide covers the county Elections Department’s application process, while its candidate-status page reserves municipal candidate qualification to City and Town Clerks. For a civic meeting packet, link the specific agenda rather than reprinting a recurring meeting schedule as a guarantee. For an election resource panel, label the City Clerk and Marin County Elections separately and verify each destination before the QR code is sent to print. Before you brief us on a Sausalito project. Use City of Sausalito, not Town of Sausalito, in municipal references. Council seats are at large; do not add a district number to a council layout. Confirm the venue entrance and organizer contact before printing waterfront event directions. Use the actual upcoming agenda for time and place, rather than relying on a general recurring schedule.
