Following the consolidation of Ormsby County and 卡森城 in 1969, the local governing body is composed of a five-member elected representation called the Board of Supervisors. The Mayor and four Supervisors are elected by and accountable to the voters. They are all elected-at-large; however, the four Supervisors must reside within the boundaries of their respective Wards 1 through 4. All of the members of the Board serve a 4-year staggered terms. The Mayor and Supervisors from Ward 2 and Ward 4 are elected during the Presidential election years. The Supervisors from Ward 1 and Ward 3 are elected during off-Presidential election years.

The Mayor is Chairman of and presides over all Board meetings. She is also recognized as the head of local government for ceremonial purposes, and during emergency civil or military disturbances.

The Mayor Pro Tempore is selected by the members of the Board for a term determined by the Board. The Mayor Pro Tempore serves in the Mayor’s absence or disability.
