Moscow has a [[Mayor-Council]] form of government consisting of six Council members (at large) and a Mayor. These positions are elected separately and serve four year terms. Council member elections are held in odd-numbered years in November, with terms staggered so that three of the six seats are open at each election. Mayoral elections are held the November after a US presidential election.

The Council elects a President and vice-president from among its members at its first meeting in January each year. These two officers may stand in for the mayor as necessary. Council is the legislative and judicial arm of Moscow's City government; enacting ordinances and resolutions. This body confirms the Mayor's appointments of City officials and citizen advisory commission members. Council approves the city's annual budget and serves as the convening body for public hearings and appeals of other City Boards and Commissions. Meetings are generally scheduled for the first and third Monday of each month, beginning at 7:00&nbsp;p.m.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.moscow.id.us/council/index.asp|title=Moscow City Council|access-date=2007-03-25|author=City of Moscow|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070303202114/http://www.moscow.id.us/council/index.asp <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = 2007-03-03}}</ref>
