Cambridge City Council
About
The Cambridge City Council is the policy-setting arm of the City of Cambridge, drawing its powers from the Cambridge Municipal Code, which includes the city charter, and from the laws and constitution of Massachusetts. It authorizes public improvements and expenditures, adopts regulations and ordinances, establishes financial policies and performs many related legislative tasks. Members of the public are invited to attend, watch or take part in its regular and special meetings.
Residents can follow council business in several ways. Meetings air on Cambridge’s municipal cable channel 22, stream live through the city’s Open Meeting Portal, and can be joined through Zoom, where members of the public can also give comment. Agendas, minutes and video are posted on the OneMeeting portal launched in 2026, and older meeting records and videos are archived online.
