This work starts from the realization that aging must be recognized as a social process of continuous transformation of human being and one social construction, which depends on social structure, cultural and economic structure of each people, considering the reality of the National Policy for the Elderly and the Statute Aging in Brazil, and the principle of participation into social policies. As participation if to develop in the public space of council of the elderly, the locus of the research was the Cit y Council of the Aged, Belem. To see how members of council participate of exercising social control, we performed a desk review of Council the period 2006 to 2010. It might be found a fragility in the documents of the Council, particularly in record of the minutes that inform about the deliberations and about the absence of records about actions as the visits to the organizations and the organization of the Conference Hall. The document analysis reveals that the actions developed by the Municipality Council of the Elderly is diferent that provided in public policy how much the role of Council. Logo the actions can not be considered as exerting social control, since the participation of Board members are restricted, and does not influence in municipal politics aimed at the elderly.
