As of 10 November 2026
The roster stands: The Common Council as the Today portrait printed it stands unchanged at 10 November 2026. The council's own 2027 Budget Priorities filing, stamped in the clerk's office on 22 June 2026, carries the nine members in their seats — Canneth Lee, president, 1st District; Ophelia Gooden-Rodgers, 2nd; Sharon L. McBride, 3rd; Heidi Beidinger, 4th; Sherry Bolden-Simpson, 5th; Sheila Niezgodski, 6th; and at large Oliver Davis, Rachel Tomas Morgan, and Karen L. White — and the clerk's committee notices of June 2026 carry the same nine in the same seats, with Bianca L. Tirado signing as city clerk. Mayor James Mueller holds the office, with Troy Warner his chief of staff since 1 June 2026, as the portrait states.
The final cost stands: The City Hall renovation's cost line needed no new figure, because the figure the portrait prints is a closing document's, not an estimate: the Board of Public Works completion affidavit of 14 April 2026 states the renovation's final cost at $7,921,618.86. No later publication in the record reached revises it, and a completion affidavit is the last word a project's cost record ordinarily gets; the line is re-verified as final at 10 November 2026. The purchase price of $2,800,000 (27 September 2022) and the building's opening as City Hall on 13 October 2025 stand as the Government section carries them.
