The Tampa City Council is the legislative body of the municipal government of the U.S. city of Tampa, in Hillsborough County, Florida. The City Council consists of seven members, each representing one of seven corresponding districts from which they were elected. City Council, as the city's legislative branch, is responsible for enacting ordinances and resolutions administered by the corresponding executive branch, the Mayor of Tampa.
City Council seats for all districts are decided concurrently in elections held every four years during the month of March. During election years, the term of office for the Council's outgoing body expires on March 31, while the Council's newly elected body officially begin their term on April 1. The four-year terms are scheduled to expire/commence during odd-numbered years, with the term of office for the Council's current membership scheduled to draw to an end on March 31, 2019.
Districts 1, 2, and 3 are all each identical to one another, including their common designation as At-Large Districts. They are so designated since the physical layout shared by this initial trio of districts is identical to Tampa's entire municipal boundaries, or the city of Tampa at-large. As a result, Districts 1, 2, and 3 serve a citywide constituency of Tampa's electorate. To form the remaining Districts 4 thru 7, the city limits were sectioned into four separate, respective districts, each containing its own unique resident constituency of local voters.
