Mayor & Board of Trustees

The Town of Mountain View operates under a Board of Trustees form of government, where the governing body makes decisions for the Town through votes taken during properly posted public meetings. The Board works together with Town staff to develop ordinances, policies, and plans that meet the needs of the community. Town employees research, prepare, and present items for consideration, and the Board reviews, provides direction, and takes formal action through a vote of the governing body.

The Board is composed of five elected officials, each of whom has an equal vote on matters that appear on a meeting agenda. All official actions are taken by the Board as a whole.

The Board works closely with the Town Clerk/Treasurer, who oversees the daily operations of the Town and carries out the policies, ordinances, and resolutions approved by the Board.

This process helps ensure that decisions are made openly, thoughtfully, and in the best interest of the entire Mountain View community.

The Mayor serves as the presiding officer at meetings of the Board of Trustees and represents the Town at official functions. The Mayor helps guide meeting discussions, calls for votes on agenda items, and signs official documents that have been approved by the Board.

The Vice Mayor performs the duties of the Mayor when the Mayor is absent or unable to serve. As a voting member of the Board, the Vice Mayor participates in all discussions and decisions brought before the governing body.

Trustees are voting members of the governing body and take part in reviewing town business, setting policy direction, and approving ordinances, resolutions, and expenditures during public meetings.

Trustees work with fellow Board members and Town staff to address community needs, plan for the future, and ensure responsible use of public resources.

Trustees represent the citizens of Mountain View and are committed to making informed decisions that support infrastructure, services, and quality of life for the community.

The Board of Trustees conducts Town business in accordance with the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act. Agendas are posted in advance, meetings are open to the public, and all votes are recorded in the official meeting minutes.
