==Junior City Council==
The Strasburg City Council established the United States' first [[Junior City Council]] in 2006, sponsored by City Council member Patricia Ford and strongly supported by Mayor Gregory McClure. In addition, State support came from District 122 [[Missouri]] House Representative Mike McGhee, who hosted a meeting with the founding council in its second year. The Council itself is composed of local youth who are elected into office. They focus on municipal issues, just as the official City Council does. Members of City council were as follows: [[Mayor]] Greg McClure, Lieutenant Mayor Gary Birge, South Ward Councilman Gary Birge, North Ward Councilman Pat Ford, South Ward Councilman Theresa Brayton, and North Ward Councilman Brian Ross.
