==Government== The City of Laurel operates under a Mayor β Alderman form of government.<ref name="Government">[https://cityoflaurelmontana.com/ City Of Laurel Website]</ref> Full executive authority is vested in the mayor, who is elected at-large for a four-year term. The mayor presides over the meetings of the city council and appoints and charges regular and special committees of the city council. The mayor is eligible to vote only in cases of a tie, but he may be heard at all times. He may veto all city council actions, including line items within a budget resolution, and his veto may be overridden by two-thirds of the whole membership of the city council. In November 2007, the citizens of Laurel approved a city charter with self-governing powers. This allows for the position of Chief Administrative Officer to supervise the city's operations. Legislative authority is vested in the city council, which is composed of eight aldermen or women elected to four-year terms by the residents of the Ward within which the respective alderman/woman resides. The city council has management and control of the city's finances and property. The city council has the power to adopt ordinances and regulations consistent with state and federal law for the good government, preservation of good order, benefit of trade and commerce, protection of the quality of life within the city, and, as necessary, to carry out the purposes of the government of the City of Laurel. As of 2022, David Waggoner serves as the Mayor of Laurel.<ref>{{cite web|title=Council Members |url=https://cityoflaurelmontana.com/citycouncil/page/council-members |publisher=City of Laurel |access-date=May 10, 2023}}</ref>
