Vancouver City Council is the governing body of the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The city is governed by the ''Vancouver Charter'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=VANCOUVER CHARTER (1953 ) CHAPTER 55 )〕 not the Community Charter and the ''Local Government Act'' which are used for other municipal governments. The Vancouver Charter gives the city greater powers than those of other municipalities in British Columbia. Powers of the Vancouver council include: * pass by-laws to regulate such things as noise and land use * buy and sell property * collect certain taxes * approve expenditures * take on debts * give grants * hire and discharge employees City council sits at City Hall at 453 West 12th Avenue. The council consists of the mayor plus ten councillors elected to serve a three-year term, now four-year term starting in 2014.〔(Union of BC Municipalities Announces Four Year Terms )〕 Monthly, a deputy mayor is appointed from among the councillors. The most recent election was on November 15, 2014. All Vancouver councillors are elected at-large, which is very unusual for a city of Vancouver's size. A proposal to move to a conventional ward system was rejected by voters in an October 17, 2004 referendum. Municipal elections are held every four years across the Province on the third Saturday of November. ==Vancouver City Council members (by party)== (詳細はウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vancouver City Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
