Mayor & Council


The Mayor and 6 city council members are elected by Nixa voters. They are your voice for implementing ordinances and laws. These are volunteer positions which are paid a stipend to cover costs related to their public service. These elected officials are not considered city staff and they do not work full-time from City Hall. Nixa has a Mayor-City Administrator form of government as defined by the city’s Home Rule Charter. This means the City Administrator is the highest-ranking member of city staff, appointed by the Mayor and Council to manage the day-to-day operations of the city.

Council Districts
Each council member is elected for 3-year terms to represent the citizens of Nixa. Nixa has 3 council districts and each district has two council members. Their terms are staggered so that each year, two council seats are up for election, but not from the same district. The Mayor is elected as an “at-large” seat by voters in all 3 districts.
