Mayor & Council

Mayor and Council

Back row: Clyde Ihrke, Steve Balm, Jeff Thee
Front row: Kevin Bice, Blain Andera, Jerry Harbst

The Mayor and City Council are elected at large by the voters of Spirit Lake. They represent the people in setting policy, approving the budget and taxes, and providing direction to city administration. The Council has 5 members, elected to staggered 4-year terms; the Mayor is elected every 2 years and is the Chief Executive Officer of the City and the presiding officer of the Council.

The Mayor does not vote but holds veto power over Council actions. The Mayor hires the Police Chief and the Council hires the City Administrator. The City Council meets twice monthly to approve service contracts, consider ordinances, zoning changes, approve the undertaking of projects, studies and other activities. City staff provides reports to the Mayor/Council, citizens appear to address public issues, and other business is conducted at the meetings. The public is given an opportunity to speak at all regular City Council meetings.
