The Town of Archer Lodge operates under the Mayor-Council form of government. Under the Mayor-Council form of government the Town Administrator works with staff to achieve goals and policies set forth by the Council. This means that the Council has oversight over the Administrator, and the Administrator takes care of the day-to-day operations of the Town.
Each year the Finance Officer and Budget Officer work hand in hand to form the Annual Budget Ordinance, a document that guides the direction of the Town for the next fiscal year by determining what projects may be funded. Outside of the Annual Budget Ordinance, the Finance Officer maintains the finances of the Town by keeping accurate records of all monies taken in and spent by the Town.
