Municipal council meeting

The municipal council is the highest decision-making body in the city of Innsbruck. It is directly elected by citizens every six years. The 40 members are sworn in at the constituent meeting and undertake to faithfully observe the legal system of the Republic of Austria, to carry out their duties disinterestedly and to promote the welfare of the city and its inhabitants to the best of their knowledge and ability. The municipal council meets at least once a month (except in August and September). The meetings are generally open to the public and usually take place in the plenary chamber on the 6th floor of the town hall. They are broadcast via livestream and minutes are taken, which can be viewed by the public.
