Members of the Piedmont City Council are elected volunteers who serve their community without compensation. Under the City Charter, a councilmember may be elected for no more than two consecutive four-year terms of office. However, after a full term has elapsed (4 years), councilmembers may again run for office. Staggered elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of February in even numbered years.
