Town Council
The Paradise Town Council is the chief policy making body for the Town of Paradise. In that role, they establish priorities, set policy, and adopt programs. Approving the annual Town budget is one of the Council's most crucial and sweeping responsibilities.
The Paradise Town Council meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm in the Council Chambers at Paradise Town Hall - 5555 Skyway. For more information on the Town Council please contact the Deputy Town Clerk Melanie Elvis at (530) 872-6291 ext 101 or melvis@townofparadise.com.
The Paradise Town Council is comprised of five members elected at large by the community to four-year staggered terms of office. See biographies of the current Town Council Members. Council elections occur on even numbered years and depending on the year submit two or three seats to the voters. At the December Council Meeting, the Town Council selects two of its members to serve one-year terms as Mayor and Vice Mayor. The Mayor presides over the Town Council meetings and is responsible for maintaining order. The Mayor serves as the Council's ambassador and executes official Council approved documents: agreements, contracts, ordinances and resolutions.
