The City of Emeryville, California, uses a council-city manager system, so its Council is the main legislative body.^[1] John Bauters was elected as one of five city council members in 2016. Every year, one Mayor and one Vice Mayor are chosen from, and by, the members of the Council.^[2] John Bauters held the position of Mayor in 2023. As Mayor and member of the Council, Bauters helped to create the city's budget and policies, while also being appointed to both city and regional advisory committees. The city committees that he is a part of are the Budget and Governance Committee, the Transportation Committee, and the Marketplace Redevelopment Project Negotiating Ad Hoc Committee. Additionally, some of the regional committees he is a part of include: Alameda County Transportation Commission, East Bay Community Energy Joint Powers Authority Board, and AC Transit/Emeryville Interagency Liaison Committee^[3]. While, Bauters is not the Mayor anymore, he retains his position on the Council and continues to be a part of each advisory committee.
