The City Recorder is Sharon Bankhead. JoAn Churchill is currently serving as interim treasurer and submitted a petition to be placed on the ballot. These positions will be listed in the “Unopposed” category on the ballot.

During the council’s August 17 meeting Mayor Paul Mitchell congratulated everyone for being unopposed. He contributed the lack of opposition to Alexander citizens being satisfied with the city’s progress during the past few years.

Council members serve two-year terms while the city recorder and city treasurer serve four-year terms. In 2022 the council positions and the mayors seat will be on the ballot. The mayor serves a four-year term.
