Crested Butte is governed by a seven-member Town Council elected at large for staggered terms. The Mayor serves a two-year term and is a voting member of the council. Please note that the Town Council also serves as the Planning Commission and can be convened in that capacity at any time. Should this occur, agendas and packets will be located at the bottom of this page.
Town Council meetings are held in the Council Chambers at Town Hall at 7 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month (except for Monday holidays when meetings are held on the following Tuesday).
At the beginning of each meeting, members of the public have an opportunity to speak with the council about any topic that is not on the agenda. The council periodically schedules special meetings and public forums to seek input on specific items of public business or Town projects.
For questions, ideas, or suggestions, you can contact any Council member directly.
