Cupertino is a General Law city organized under and subject to statutes of the State of California. It is governed by the
five -member City Council with the Mayor as the presiding officer. City Council members are elected at -large to four-year,
overlapping terms. Each November a mayor and a vice -mayor are selected by the City Council for a one-year term.
The City Council receives advice and assistance from nine commissions, which are appointed by the Council. These are the
Bicycle Pedestrian Commission, Fine Arts Commission, Cupertino Housing Commission, Library Commission, Parks and
Recreation Commission, Planning Commission, Public Safety Commission, Teen Commission, and the Technology,
Information, and Communications Commission.
Council members also serve on a variety of regional bodies, including:
Association of Bay Area Governments

many activities of the city and appoints the professional and technical staff. The City Attorney is the advisor to the City
Council as a whole.
TYPES OF COUNCIL ACTIONS
ORDINANCES
Ordinances are the means by which the City enacts its local laws. Unless an urgent situation exists, ordinances will first be
presented at a Council meeting as a "first reading." At a subsequent Council meeting, there will be a "second reading and
adoption." Ordinances go into effect after a waiting period of thirty days, in most cases, during which time the summary of
the ordinance is published in a local newspaper approved for this purpose.
RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions and minute orders are the means by which the City Council formally adopts policies or approves specific
actions. These go into effect when adopted.
APPEALS
Any interested person, including a Council member, may appeal a Planning Commission or Director of Community
Development decision to the City Council. An appeal must be submitted in writing to the City Clerk within 14 calendar days
of the mailing of the notice of the decision.
RECONSIDERATION
Prior to seeking judicial review of any adjudicatory (quasi-judicial) decision, interested persons must file a petition for
reconsideration within ten calendar days of the date the City Clerk mails notice of the City's decision. Reconsideration
petitions must comply with the requirements of Cupertino Municipal Code §2.08.096. Contact the City Clerk's office for
more information or go to www. http://www.cupertino.org/index.aspx?page=125 for a reconsideration petition form.
