The Sherwood City Council meets the first and third Tuesday of the month at 7 pm at City Hall , 22560 SW Pine Street, Sherwood, Oregon. With the exception of any scheduled Executive Sessions, the meetings are open to the public and residents are encouraged to attend.

Sherwood's City Council is comprised of a Mayor, who presides over Council meetings, and six Councilor positions, including that of Council President. In the Mayor's absence, the Council President may substitute in the performance of mayoral duties. The Mayor is elected to a two-year term, and City Council members are elected to four-year terms through a general election.  When a Council position is vacated before term completion, it must be filled by special appointment of the Council.  The Council is governed by Sherwood City Charter and adopted Council Rules.

The Council makes appointments to and considers the recommendations of all City Boards, Commissions and Committees, reviews staff reports in conjunction with regular council meetings, participates in the deliberation of agenda items, enacts legislation, and participates in a number of regional meetings and meetings with other governmental agencies and jurisdictions.
