Seven city council members elected in wards and one mayor elected at large serve the city. ==City government and politics==
Saint Paul is governed with a variation of the strong mayor-council form of government.〔 〕 The mayor is the chief executive and chief administrative officer for the city and the seven member city council is the legislative body. The mayor is elected from the entire city, while members of the city council are elected from seven different geographic wards, which have approximately equal populations. Both the mayor and the city council serve four-year terms. The mayor's duties include preparing an annual budget, appointing heads to executive departments of the city and either signing or vetoing legislative ordinance passed by the city council. The city council is responsible for the city budget, which is supposed to be based on the mayor's proposed budget. All appointments made by the mayor must be approved by the city council. The city council may override the mayor's veto. In addition, the city council creates all of the city's ordinance. The city council may create legislative ordinance with four of seven votes. Legislative ordinance must then be presented to the mayor who may then veto or approve the legislation. With an additional vote, for a total of five votes, the council may override the mayor's veto.〔 In addition to the mayor-council system, Saint Paul is governed by a unique neighborhood system. Since 1975, the city is split up into 17 City Districts, which are then governed by a District Council. The District Councils receive funding from the city but are otherwise independently run. Most councils have significant power on land use issues.
