Upcoming Hearings


Citizen Union Foundation publishes Searchlight on the City Council to help New Yorkers stay better informed about how the decisions made at City Hall affect daily life in the city.

The New York City Council is the legislative branch of city government, made up of 51 members elected from 51 districts throughout the five boroughs. Council members are elected every four years and represent approximately 157,000 people. The council's primary roles include oversight of city agencies, review of land use changes, and final approval power over the city's $42 billion annual budget.

Searchlight is published in a print version four times a year as part of Gotham Gazette magazine, and updated regularly online. For more information or to request copies of the print publication, contact Searchlight.
