Town Council consists of seven elected officials and serves to enact local legislation, adopt budgets, determine policies and appoint a town manager. Council members are elected to serve four-year terms. The Mayor is a council member that is elected by a majority vote of council and serves a two-year term.
Recently, Town Council has developed a strategic plan. Its main initiative is that Mt. Crested Butte will be a collaborative leader that preserves the region’s natural beauty, delivers exceptional municipal services, enhances quality of life, champions sustainable tourism, and fosters an atmosphere where residents and businesses can thrive.
Town Council Calendar - Three or more councilors in attendance.
