The mayor is appointed by Royal Decree for a renewable term of 6 years. The alderpersons are appointed for 4 years by the coalition parties that form a majority in the city council.
The college is advised by the municipal clerk. Similarly to a general manager, they are responsible for all the municipality's civil servants.
