The City of Kirksville is a third-class city, operating under the Council-Manager form of government.
Each Council member fills a three-year position, after being voted into office by the city voters in an annual April election. The terms are staggered. Missouri law requires a Council candidate to be 21 years of age, a resident of the city for one year prior to the election, and a United States citizen. The City Council “appoints” a Mayor in April, following the election, for a one-year term. The Mayor must be at least 30 years of age, a resident of the city for two years preceding the election, and a United States citizen. We welcome our citizens and interested parties to attend and participate in the City Council meetings.
