Legislative Branch of City Government
At the Annual Town Election held on June 11, 2002, the voters approved a revised Town Charter. The new City form of Government which includes a Mayor and City Council became effective on July 1, 2003. The City Council consists of thirteen (13) members: four (4) "Councilors at Large" and nine (9) "Precinct Councilors" elected to represent each of the nine (9) voting precincts in City. At the urging of the citizens, the Charter Commission chose to continue to refer to the "City of Greenfield" as "the City known as the Tow of Greenfield". On January 17, 2019 Governor Baker signed a Charter Amendment wich officialy changed the "the City known as the Tow of Greenfield" to the "City of Greenfield."
