The City Council is the legislative body, responsible for creating/adopting ordinances (the laws, penalties and fee schedules), tax abatements, establishing the city's budget, and hearing issues raised by the city administration and their constituents. Meetings are held on the first and third Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 227 North Main Street (3rd floor). The Mayor presides over the meetings and in the event of a tie would cast the tie-breaking vote. Meetings that fall on a city holiday are held on the following Tuesday.

As Ambassadors for the City of New Castle, Council members often serve as representatives on intergovernmental boards, commissions, and committees. They also make appointments to various advisory boards, commissions, and committees.
