Are there term limits for City Council in Menlo Park?

It seems no one remembers what Martin Luther King Jr. fought for: a color-blind society. All the focus on race is tearing our country apart.
As for Menlo Park, we are all residents of this city and should vote as such, in the same kind of at-large elections we've always had.
Our current City Council has rolled over before at the sound of the word "lawsuit." They don't stand up for the residents who voted for them. Instead, they do whatever Stanford wants and whatever Facebook wants, and whatever any angry group threatening to sue them wants. I guess the City Attorney likes to stay out of court.
I can't imagine any City Council doing any worse by its residents.
