Start here

Say somethingThree minutes at the microphone, an email by 4:30 p.m., or a raised hand on Zoom.

What’s scheduledCouncil and every advisory body, rebuilt from Legistar after each Council meeting.

Who decidesSeven councilmembers, all elected citywide. No districts.

The November ballotThree open Council seats and a hotel-tax measure.

How Mountain View is governed

Mountain View is a council–manager city. Seven councilmembers are elected at large — every voter votes on every seat, and no councilmember represents a district. Three or four seats come up at each even-year November election, for four-year terms.

The Council picks one of its own as Mayor and another as Vice Mayor each January. The Mayor runs meetings and signs things; the job carries no veto and no separate salary line. Day-to-day the city is run by a professional City Manager the Council hires.

That structure matters when you want something changed: there is no district office to call. All seven answer to the whole city, and the room where it happens is the same room every time.

What this site is

mtnview.info is an independent, non-commercial mirror of Mountain View’s public record. It is not run by the city. It carries no advertising and sets no tracking cookies.

It exists because the public record is technically public and practically hard to read: agendas arrive as hundred-page PDFs, meeting links expire, and the calendar system has its RSS feed switched off. This site pulls the same data through Legistar’s API after each Council meeting, keeps its own copies of the PDFs so the links do not rot, and writes the parts that change back into the page automatically.

Sister sites: oakinfo.org (Oakland, CA) and cosprings.info (Colorado Springs, CO).
