Greer City Council acts as the legislative branch of the city government as well as its policy-making body. The council also looks to the city’s goals, major projects, and infrastructure improvements ranging from community growth to land use to finances and strategic planning.

Individual council members serve four-year terms and are elected by residents of the districts in which they live and represent. The exception is the mayor who is elected at-large (by all residents) to serve a four-year term. The mayor presides over Greer City Council meetings. Council members elect a mayor pro tempore to serve the mayor’s role in his or her absence.

The Municipal Clerk assists council in its work.

Rick Danner may have started out as the mayor of a small town when he took office in 2000, but today, he leads one of South Carolina’s fastest-growing cities. Greer still has room to grow, and Mayor Danner has a vision for how to do it the right way. The mayor says becoming a “City of Choice” requires investing, planning, and making a concerted effort to meet the needs of Greer’s increasingly diverse community.
