The mayor of Montreal chairs both the Council and the Executive Committee. The Vice-Chair replaces the Chair when the latter is unable to act.

The meetings of the Council are public. Each meeting includes a period during which the persons present may address questions to the members of the Council. The Council shall, before the start of each year, establish the schedule of its regular meetings by fixing the date and time of each meeting. The Council may also convene special meetings, as needed.

The Council exercises all the powers attributed by law to the CMM. Its internal management procedures and rules of discussion are set out in by-laws. Nine members constitute a quorum at meetings of the Council. The Council may delegate certain powers to the Executive Committee.
