Mayor
The Mayor of the Town of Mountain View serves as the presiding officer of the Board of Trustees and holds a leadership role in representing the Town both internally and externally. In Mountain View’s form of government, the Mayor is one of five voting Trustees and shares legislative authority equally with the other Board members.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Preside Over Meetings: Lead Board of Trustees meetings in an orderly and impartial manner, ensuring compliance with the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act and allowing for productive discussion and decision-making.
-
Voting Authority: Vote on all matters brought before the Board as an equal member—no veto power exists. The Mayor's vote holds the same weight as each Trustee.
-
Public Representation: Represent the Town in ceremonial functions, official proclamations, and external communications with state agencies, organizations, and the public.
-
Signature Authority: Sign ordinances, resolutions, minutes, contracts, and other official documents as required by law or Board action.
-
Emergency Powers: Exercise limited emergency authority in times of disaster or crisis, in accordance with state statutes and local ordinances.
-
Support Administrative Functions: Work collaboratively with the Town Clerk/Treasurer, department heads, and other Trustees to ensure effective implementation of the Board’s decisions.
The Mayor does not direct daily operations of the Town. Administrative duties are carried out by the Town Clerk/Treasurer and municipal staff. The Mayor’s role is to provide leadership, foster collaboration among Trustees, and serve as a visible advocate for the well-being and progress of the Town.
