City Council

 
2022_Ward_Map_WebThe City of Hot Springs operates under an aldermanic form of government. We elect a mayor, and two aldermen from each of four wards. The terms of our elected officials are all two years. The City Council normally meets on the first and third Mondays of each month. The city also uses committees comprised of various members of the city council to make recommendations to the full council. The committees deal with major issues, including ordinances, department priorities, and city policies. 
Council MembersWe respectfully ask that you do not email all Council members at once but instead email them individually as necessary. The council is not allowed to "meet" without proper public notice and per SDCL 1-25-1, group email communications may constitute a meeting.
