The Harrisburg City Council is the legislative branch of the city government of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and consists of seven members elected at-large.

[1] Every proposed ordinance is initially in the form of a resolution introduced by a council member.

Before a resolution can be enacted, it must be referred by the president of the council to an appropriate standing committee, considered at a public hearing and meeting, reported out by the committee, printed as reported by the committee, distributed to the members of the council, and made available to the public.

Passage of a bill requires the favorable vote of a majority of all members.

City Council also confirms all department directors and certain other mayoral appointees.
