This site does not publish a biography, a policy summary or a committee list for any councilmember. The city writes and maintains those, they change without notice, and a copy kept here would be a copy going quietly out of date. The links above are the source; what this page adds is everything below, which is rebuilt after each Council meeting.

Which district am I in?

Use the city’s lookup tool, or read the District 4 map directly. The current eight-district map was drawn by the Independent Redistricting Commission and took effect in 2022, so if you last checked before then, check again — several streets changed district. This site will not describe the boundary in words, because a boundary described in words is wrong at exactly the addresses where the answer matters.

What a district councilmember can and cannot do

• Can put an item on the agenda as a council referral, which is how most neighbourhood-scale issues enter the process at all.
• Can pull an item off the consent calendar so that it gets a hearing and public comment instead of passing in a block in silence. This is frequently the single most useful thing to ask for.
• Can ask staff for a report, appoint residents of this district to city commissions, and press a department for an answer you could not get on your own.
• Cannot decide anything alone. Five of nine carries. A member who agrees with you entirely still needs four colleagues.
• Cannot order city staff to do anything at all. The City Charter forbids it in terms: the Council deals with the administration solely through the City Manager. A councilmember can push; they cannot instruct.
• Cannot overturn a Zoning Adjustments Board decision by asking. That takes an appeal, which has its own deadline, its own office and its own fee — see Guide.
• Cannot stop a middle-housing project. Two- to six-unit housing that meets the checklist is approved ministerially and is not appealable to the ZAB or the Council at all.
• Cannot set your rent. The Rent Stabilization Board is separately elected and does not report to the Council.

A committee seat that belongs to this district

Whoever holds District 4 sits on the City / UC / Student Relations Committee. That membership is fixed by district — districts 4, 6, 7 and 8 — rather than assigned to a person, so it does not change when the seat does. It is the standing table between the city, the university and its students, and if your issue is a town-gown one, this is a seat with standing on it.

Reading a voting record

This site does not summarise how any member voted from memory. Roll-call votes are recorded in the minutes for each meeting, and the video archive carries the debate that produced them. On a nine-member body a 5–4 vote and a 9–0 vote read very differently, and who seconds a motion is often as informative as the vote itself.

The rest of the Council

All nine seats → — and the Mayor, who is elected by the whole city rather than by a district.
