§ 7046 City Council As District Board

• •The city council becomes the district board when the district is wholly within the city.
• •The presiding officer of the city council becomes the district president.
• •This rule only applies when the district's territory is entirely inside one city.

A small town that is its own city, where the city council acts as the district board and the mayor serves as the district president.

Because the entire district lies within that single city, the city council automatically takes on the role of the district board, and the presiding officer of the council (often the mayor) automatically becomes the district president.
