Editing Millville, Delaware (section)

===Elected officials===
Millville has a [[council-manager]] form of government. Under the current governmental structure and electoral system, which went into effect with the election of March 3, 2001, a five-person [[town council]] governs the town. After each election, the council elects one of its members to serve as [[mayor]]. Another council member serves as deputy mayor, another as [[treasurer]], and another as [[secretary]], while the fifth council member serves as a council member alone with no additional duties. Each council member serves a two-year term, and the terms are staggered so that three of the council members are elected in each odd-numbered year and two in each even-numbered year.<ref name="millville.delaware.gov">[http://millville.delaware.gov/ Town of Millville, Delaware, official Web site]</ref>
