The Town of Signal Mountain has a Council/ Manager form of government.
In February 1990 a Town Council, composed of 5 members, was formed.
The five member Town Council is elected by the voters with three
of the five members running every two years on even numbered years,
matching the national elections. Of the three top vote getters every
two years, two receive four-year terms and one (the third place
finisher) receives a two-year term. This guarantees that three members
of the Council will be up for election every two years. The Mayor
and the Vice-Mayor are selected from among the Council members.
The Mayor presides at Council meetings and otherwise provides leadership
for the Council and the Town. The Vice-Mayor acts as Mayor in the
Mayor's absence.
The Council has a number of advisory boards composed of volunteers
who are interested in serving their community. They include the
Planning Commission, Recreation Advisory Board, Library Board, Parks
Board, Design Review Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals, and Condemnation
Board. The Planning Commission, with staff support supplied by the
Chattanooga/Hamilton County Planning Staff and the Signal Mountain
Town Manager, is responsible for reviewing subdivision plats, rezoning
recommendations to the Council, annexations, and long-range planning.
