The City Council has eight members consisting of the mayor and seven members all elected at large on a nonpartisan basis. City Council is responsible for all policy-making functions of the government and retains the services of a City Attorney, City Auditor and City Manager. The City Manager is responsible for all administration of the City, which provides a comprehensive range of municipal services including general government, public safety, community services, public works, planning, utilities, and parks and recreation. Cape Coral is the 8th largest city by population and the 3rd largest by land mass in Florida. Cape Coral currently has a population of more than 200,000 residents and is experiencing high growth. As a pre-platted community, Cape Coral could have more than 360,000 residents at buildout. The city has a sub-tropical lifestyle with thousands of waterfront residential properties on almost 400 miles of canals. About two-thirds of these canals provide boaters with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico.
