DescriptionThe Town of Signal Mountain operates under a Council/Town Manager form of government. The Council has certain responsibilities including approval of the annual budgets, tax rates, ordinances, resolutions, staffing levels, contracts, personnel policy, purchasing policy, and other policies.

A five-member Council is elected by Town voters with three of the five members running every two years on even numbered years, matching the national elections. Of the three top vote getters, two receive four-year terms and one (the third place finisher) receives a two-year term. This ensures that three members of the Council will be up for election every two years and two will remain seated to provide a level of continuity for the next Council.

The Council elects the mayor and the vice mayor from among its membership. The mayor presides at Council meetings and is the titular head of the Town. The vice mayor acts as mayor in the mayor’s absence.

The Town Council meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 pm in the Council Room at the Town Hall and also at other specially called meetings as advertised.
