The North Pole City Council met on March 3, 2022 to review and discus the plans to replace all of North Pole City's Streets and Sidewalks. Several questions arose during the meeting that were related to the implementation of the project such as: "What will we do with all of the existing bricks?", "Are we going to make sure that operations at Santa's Village will not be interfered with?", and "Shouldn't we historically document some of these existing bricks since they were the original ones laid when North Pole City was built?"
The following are the outcomes of the resolutions presented to council.

North Pole City Council is not your normal, politically motivated city council. It is made up of 12 members, each one representing one of the Elf Clans. They are appointed for life and most of them (with the exception of 2) have been on the council since it was originally formed.
The City Council is separate from Santa's Village which is in the middle of the city. Power of the city was given to the council for the growth and well being of all North Pole City elves. Santa only sits on the council and casts a vote if there is a tie; however, he does attend most council meetings when they are called. Meetings only take place when they are needed for discussion and passages of city resolutiosn and ordinances.
