For instance, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City all have their own elected council members. You can typically find the current council members on the official website of the respective city.

In a city or municipality, the governing body is typically a group of officials who are citizens residing in that city, and represent areas or districts within the city. They are either elected or appointed. This group of elected or appointed officials is typically called a city council. In most cities, a mayor is the highest official, and depending on local laws, may preside over the city council. Individual members of this council are called city council members.
