The city council is vested with the legislative powers of the City of Providence. Two major responsibilities of the council are enacting ordinances necessary to ensure the welfare and good order of the city and adopting the city's annual budget.
The members of the City Council are elected by residents of the fifteen wards of Providence. Council members represent the concerns, needs, and issues of their constituents, and work to improve the city's neighborhoods.
The City Charter fully explains the duties and responsibilities of the city council.
