Common Council

Home > Government > Council

As the legislative body of the City, the Council is responsible for passing ordinances, resolutions, orders and motions for the governing of the City, the control of the City's property and finances, and the appropriation of money. These actions are taken at public meetings which are generally held on the first and third Mondays of the month in the Council Chambers in Mishawaka City Hall, 600 East Third Street. The public is welcome to attend the meetings and offer comment on these actions.

As elected representatives of the citizens of Mishawaka, the members of the Council welcome citizen questions, concerns and comments. Contact information for each Council member can be found on the Meet the Council page or you may contact the City Clerk.

Council Attorney Mike Trippel works closely with the Council as well as the City Clerk's Office and the City's Legal Department.
