The Hverhöfn City Council (Hverlandic: Býráð hverhöfnar) is the legislative body of Hverhöfn, the capital and largest city of Hverland. The council is responsible for passing laws, ordinances, and resolutions that govern the city. It is composed of 31 members who are elected by the residents of Hverhöfn to serve four-year terms. The council meets to discuss and vote on various issues affecting the city, including budget allocations, zoning regulations, and public services.

Composition

The City Council consists of 31 elected members who serve four-year terms. Members are elected to a four-year term in parallel voting, with 22 members elected in single-seat constituencies and 9 members elected by proportional representation. The voting in the elections is open to all citizens of Hverhöfn who are at least 18 years old.

The 2023 municipal election determined the current composition as follows:

Mayor

The Mayor is elected separately from the City Council and serves as the head of the executive branch of the city government. The Mayor is responsible for implementing the policies and decisions of the City Council, overseeing city departments, and representing the city in external matters. The Mayor often attends City Council meetings but does not have a vote unless there is a tie.

Ástríður Jónsdotra from the Liberals became the Mayor in 2023, winning 65.79% of the votes in the final round.

The full council typically meets twice a month, with additional meetings scheduled as needed. Meetings are presided over by the Mayor or a designated council member. The agenda for each meeting is set in advance and includes items such as public hearings, committee reports, and votes on proposed legislation.

The council agenda is managed on the city's legislative information management system (löggjafarupplýsingakerfi), which provides access to meeting schedules, agendas, minutes, and other relevant documents. Residents can also submit comments and feedback on proposed legislation through the system.

Notable initiatives

The City Council has implemented several notable initiatives in recent years to improve the quality of life for residents and promote sustainable development. Some of these initiatives include:

  • The Green Streets Project (Grænir götur verkefnið) to increase green spaces and pedestrian-friendly areas in the city.
  • The Affordable Housing Program (Háðbyrgðar húsnæðisáætlun) to address the housing affordability crisis in Hverhöfn.
  • Smart City Hverhöfn (Snjallborg hverhöfn) to integrate technology and data-driven solutions to enhance city services and infrastructure.
  • Technology and Innovation Hub (Tækni- og nýsköpunar miðstöð) to support startups and entrepreneurs in Hverhöfn.
