The City Legislature is the municipality's governing body, responsible for voting on ordinances and policies, and often is in charge of hiring a city manager.
Only registered voters of a borough are eligible to hold elective offices. This means borough officers must be 18 years old and residents of the borough for at least one year prior to their election. Council members are required to be residents of the ward from which they are elected. The residency requirements may be waived by boroughs with a population of less than 150 people.
