Mayor and Alderpersons (Common Council)

The City of Evansville has a Mayor-Council-Administrator form of Government. The Mayor is the chief executive officer of the city and presides over meetings of the Common Council and the Plan Commission.  The Common Council exercises all policy-making and legislative powers of the city, including the adoption of ordinances and resolutions, the approval of the city's annual budget, and the enactment of appropriation and tax-levy ordinances. Council also has approval over the Mayor's appointments to committees, boards, and commissions. (The Mayor votes in Council meetings only in case of a tie.) The Administrator, an appointed position, is responsible for the daily management of the municipality.

The Mayor and eight Common Council positions (Alderpersons) are elected, with terms established at two years. The Mayor is elected at large, while Alderpersons are elected from aldermanic districts; two Alderpersons are elected from each aldermanic district for alternating two-year terms.

The Common Council usually meets for regular meetings on the second Tuesday of each month, at 6:30 PM in City Hall's Council Chambers, located at 31 S. Madison St.  Special meetings may be called by the Mayor at any time, providing they are properly noticed to the public.
