What is the Town Council?

It is a totally volunteer organization that is open to all Cardiff residents and persons working within or have an interest in the Cardiff community.  Created in 1977, it serves as an organization to keep you informed on the goings on in Cardiff.

You will have the ability to help preserve our community’s character, promote Cardiff’s needs to the city and other agencies, and help to plan Cardiff’s future while gaining invaluable experiences.  You will have an opportunity to work with outstanding citizens and community leaders who care about Cardiff.  You can become actively involved at any level you choose.

When does the Cardiff Town Council meet?

We do most of our work/information by email.  We have Town Hall meetings when necessary and have Candidates Forums every other year when there are local elections.  These meetings are free and open to the public.

How much does a membership cost?

A family membership is only $15 per year and has been since 1977.  Memberships are renewable each October 1st.  These contributions help support printing of newsletters every other month and special notices, banners and fliers.
