The City Council is the highest governing body. It governs in general terms and, as the representative of the people, it monitors the municipal executive. The council has the final say on how the municipality's money is spent by adopting the municipal budget. It also adopts ordinances. The mayor is chairman and the council clerk is secretary of the municipal council. They both do not have voting rights here.
The Municipal Executive is the day-to-day management of the municipality and implements the policies adopted (in outline) by the municipal council. The municipal executive consists of the mayor, four aldermen and the town clerk. The secretary supports the college in its work. The mayor chairs both the college and the municipal council.
The civil service organization is headed by the city clerk and general manager. This person is also the advisor to the municipal executive.

The municipality is increasingly faced with subversive crime. Undermining crime consists of all forms of crime that threaten the integrity of our society. Characteristic of undermining is the intertwining of the upper and underworld. Criminals use legal structures - such as permits, subsidies and government contracts - to carry out criminal activities. As a result, the integrity of the government is compromised. The Bibob Act provides the government with an instrument to protect itself against the risk of compromising integrity.
The Open Government Act (Woo) governs the right to information about everything the government does. It is the successor to the Open Government Act (Wob).
