History

Under the Dutch East India Company's administration, a "College of Alderman" (Dutch: College van Schepenen) for Batavia was established on 24 July 1620.[4] There was also the College van Heemraden (polder board).[5] In 1905, a municipal body known as the Gemeenten Batavia was established,[6] which was renamed to Stadsgemeente Batavia in 1926. During the Japanese occupation, an advisory body existed since September 1943.[7]

Following Indonesian independence, a local representative body was established by the new Indonesian government, though it was dissolved shortly afterwards due to Dutch reoccupation of the city. After the transfer of sovereignty, a temporary elected council of 25 members was established in 1950, intended to be a temporary body although it ended up lasting until 1956, when new regulations on local legislation were issued.[7]

Structure

With 106 members, the council has one speaker and four deputy speakers. In addition, five commissions on separate topics exist:[8]

  • Commission A (Governmental issues)
  • Commission B (Economical issues)
  • Commission C (Financial issues)
  • Commission D (Developmental issues)
  • Commission E (Welfare issues)
