Indianapolis City-County Council
The Indianapolis City-County Council is the legislative body of the combined government, known as Unigov, of the city of Indianapolis and the county of Marion in the state of Indiana. It was formally established in 1970 upon the merger of the city government with the county government. Both the Council and Mayor's office are located within the Indianapolis City-County Building. The council passes ordinances for the city and county, and also makes appointments to certain boards and commissions.
==Composition of the Council==
The Council consists of 29 seats, corresponding to 25 districts apportioned by population throughout Marion County and four At-large seats. Although all cities in Marion County, apart from Indianapolis, retained their status after the merger, their residents are represented on the Council and vote alongside other county residents. Every seat is up for reelection every 4 years. The head of council is the Council President who is elected by the majority party at the Council's first meeting in January. Following the 2011 elections, Democrats regained control of the council with a 16–13 majority. Republicans previously held a 16–13–1 majority. Republicans have generally been stronger in the southern and western parts (Decatur, Franklin, Perry, and Wayne townships) of the county while Democrats have been stronger in the central and northern parts (Center, Pike, and Washington townships). Republican and Democratic strength is split in Warren and Lawrence townships.
In April 2013, the Indiana General Assembly removed the 4 at-large seats for the Council, starting with the term after the 2015 elections, part of a larger overhaul of Marion County government.
