The East Orange City Council carries out the legislative duties of municipal government. This body enacts by ordinance, resolution or motion, the laws under which our city is governed. The City Council reviews and adopts the municipal budget that is prepared and presented to the legislative body by the Mayor.

The City Council is comprised of ten members, two each representing the city's five geographical districts or wards. The City Council meets every Monday evening in the City Hall Council Chambers unless otherwise noted. Committee meetings are held on the first and third Monday at 6:30  p.m. to discuss items that will be placed on the agenda for the regular Council meeting that convenes at 7:00 p.m. every second and fourth  Monday. The public is invited to address the Council at both Committee and Regular meetings. Special Council meetings are called by the Council Chairperson or the Mayor to discuss and act on matters that require immediate action.
