The governing authority of Mountain View is vested in an elected council of six (6) Council members and a Mayor elected at large from the Mountain View community.
The Mayor and Town Council collectively serve as the Town of Mountain View's governing body. These elected officials represent their constituents, make policy decisions, budget for the execution of policies, and ensure that the policies are carried out.
The Mayor Pro Tem is elected by the Council Members from its own membership at the first meeting following each biennial election. Members of the Mountain View Town Council are elected in accordance with the Colorado Municipal Election Code of 1965, as amended and the Mountain View Town Charter.
The Mayor and each Council Member receive compensation for services rendered in the amount fixed by resolution, payable from the Mountain View general fund.
