The Board of Aldermen consists of four (4) members, with two members being elected from each of the city's two wards. The Mayor is elected at-large; therefore, not required to live in any particular ward.

Regular Meetings (City Code Sec. 2-89)
Meeting Schedule and Location
The Board of Aldermen shall meet in regular session in the board room of the Holts Summit Municipal Building at the hour of 6:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month, unless amended by the Board of Aldermen. When any such meeting day is a holiday, the regular meeting shall be held at such time as may be provided by the board on motion at the previous meeting. The board may, by motion, dispense with any regular meeting, but at least one meeting, regular or special, must be held in each calendar month. At the first regular meeting after each city election, the Board of Aldermen shall establish its meeting schedule for that year.
Adjournment and Reconvening
Should, for lack of a quorum or any other reason, the Board of Aldermen be unable to conduct business at the time and date set by ordinance for its regularly scheduled monthly meetings, the Mayor and the Aldermen who are present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to reconvene the meeting at a certain date by publicly announcing at the time of adjournment, the date, place, and time the regular monthly meeting shall be reconvened. Should the Mayor and Aldermen present be unable to agree upon such date or be unable to determine when a quorum will be available, the meeting shall be reconvened seven days from the date of the adjourned meeting at 6:00 p.m. and at the same place as the adjourned meeting. All adjourned meetings of the board shall, to all intents and purposes, be continuations of the meetings of which they are adjournments, and the same proceedings may be had at such adjourned meetings as at the meeting of which they are adjournments.
Unless otherwise announced, Regular Meetings will be held in the Holts Summit Municipal Building Board Room, located at 245 South Summit Drive. Regular Meetings are open to the public.
