Leadership and Staff
The City of Paullina, Iowa is chartered as a Mayor-Council form of government. Paullina’s City Council is elected on a non-partisan basis. The City Council is composed of a Mayor and five other council members, all of whom are elected. The Mayor serves a two-year term while the Council members serve a four-year term.
The City Council meets on the first and third Monday of each month at 5:30pm, unless holidays or other compelling reasons call for an adjustment. Special meetings and workshops may be added to the calendar. Agendas and meeting information are distributed on the Friday before the scheduled meeting. Council meetings are held at City Hall (127 S Main), inside the Council Chambers of the Paullina Community Building.
The Mayor presides at all Council meetings; however, the position casts no votes. The Mayor appoints all City officers subject to Council approval and appoints members to various boards and commissions.
Tentative agendas are always posted at the Paullina Post Office’s bulletin board and at City Hall’s front utility drop box window at a minimum of 24 hours in advance. Agendas, minutes and live video recordings of meetings are also posted here. You may also contact City Hall or check the City of Paullina’s Facebook page. The City’s official newspaper for legal publications is the N’West Iowa REVIEW (South O’Brien Sun).
Meetings are always open to the public. Per Iowa’s “Sunshine” Laws, the public may also address the Council during the Open Comment agenda item of every meeting. Each person is limited to 5 minutes. Keep in mind that Council cannot act or comment on items at this time.
Council members are also appointed to several topic-specific committees as noted.
If you have an item you wish to bring before the City Council, please contact City Hall at 712-949-3428 or by email at paullinaclerk1@tcaexpress.net.
