The city has a youth council and a council for the elderly and disabled, the composition, appointment and operating conditions of which are decided by the city government.

The Youth Council, the Council for the Elderly and the Disabled are not city bodies referred to in Section 30 of the Local Government Act, and are therefore not city authorities. The governing bodies cannot be given the authority to make administrative decisions by administrative regulations. They participate in decision-making through initiatives and statements, and their representatives may be given the right to speak and be present at meetings of the bodies by virtue of the provisions of the administrative regulations.
