Union City operates under a "Council-Manager" form of government. Five councilmembers are elected to four-year overlapping terms. The Council determines policy, adopts ordinances and resolutions, and adopts the budget. The City Council appoints a City Manager, whose responsibility is to carry out the Council's policy in terms of the day-to-day administration of the city. The City Council meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month for regular sessions.
