The City Council is the highest decision‑making body of the City of Tampere. It usually meets once a month to decide on significant current matters. Since April 2023, council meetings have been held at Tampere Hall while the City Hall is undergoing renovation.

The agenda for each meeting is published 11 days in advance and is available in Finnish through esityslista- ja pöytäkirjahaku (the agenda and minutes search). The approved minutes are published in the same place on the Tuesday following the meeting.
