The Saint Paul City Council is the governing body of Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States, as part of a strong mayor–council government. It has seven members from seven wards, each elected to four-year terms. As of 2024, all seven are members of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, although city elected official positions are nonpartisan according to state law, and political party identifications are not included on election ballots.[1]
Council members' hourly wage as of February 2023 is $70.28 per hour, but council members are considered part-time workers and paid only for 40 hours each pay period (equivalent to about $73,000 annually).[2][3]
