How should I address a letter to my city council?

Answer by  SouthernBelle (66)

If you don't have a specific name for the head of the council then you should try doing it more of a memo style :To: City Council Members, From: your name here". For some reason Dear Mayor or Dear City Council just sounds funny to me in letter style.

Call your city hall and ask them to fax, e-mail or snail mail you a list of the city council members. You should then address the letter to whoever is listed as the main person "Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms". You only need to put the official title on envelope.

The letter's salutation should be either "Dear Mayor [Mayor's Name] and the Members of [City's Name] City Council," or "Dear City Council Member [Person's Name]. " Use the former if writing to the entire council, and the latter if writing to a specific person.

If I were sending a letter to this person, I would address it to either Councilman or Councilwoman and then their last name.
