City Council

City Council

The City of Morton is a Plan A Statutory City R, a city with four council seats and a mayor. Elected council members can serve either two or four year terms and mayors serve two year terms. Four council members then become a commissioner for a department they have some background in. All regular city elections are held in conjunction with the state and federal general elections in even-numbered years.

The City Council holds regular meetings the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM at the Morton City Hall located at 220 W 2nd Street, Morton, MN 56270.

What is a Plan A Statutory City R?

A Plan A Statutory City R is the most common type of city government in Minnesota. These cities also operate with a weak mayor-council structure, but have larger councils, between four to six elected members, and the city clerk and treasurer are appointed. Neither the clerk nor treasurer positions are members of the council.
