City Commission

The City of Anthony is a city of the Second Class, with a Commission form of government.

The Anthony City Commission meets in regular session every first and third Tuesday of every month at 6:00 p.m. All City Commission meetings are held in the Commission Chambers, located at City Hall (124 S. Bluff Ave.), unless otherwise posted and properly notified.

The Anthony City Board of Commissioners consists of five members: one mayor and four commissioners, with three of its members being elected every two years. Unlike traditional Mayor-Council forms of government, Anthony's Commission form of government results in the Mayor being a voting member of the Board of Commissioners and is originally voted in as a Commissioner by the Public.The Mayor is selected through a vote of all five Commissioners every two years in April, following a City Commission Election and following the swearing in of the newly elected City Commissioners.

The City of Anthony has City Commission elections every odd-numbered year. Each election, there are three Commissioner positions open for election. The two candidates who receive the most votes by the voters are elected to four-year-terms, and the candidate that receives the third-highest votes is elected to a two-year-term.
