The City Council is Mountain View’s legislative body, setting policy and establishing the city's overall priorities and direction. The seven councilmembers are elected at large for four-year terms that are staggered so that three or four council seats are filled at the general municipal election in November of every even-numbered year. Service on the council is limited to two consecutive full terms. In January of each year, the council elects one of its members as mayor and another as vice mayor.
