The City Council (Stadtrat) constitutes the executive government of the Town of Zug and operates as a collegiate authority. It is composed of five councillors (), each presiding over a department ("Departement") comprising several bureaus. The president of the executive department acts as mayor ("Stadtpräsident"). In the mandate period 2015–2018 ("Legislatur") the City Council is presided by "Stadtpräsident" Karl Kobelt. Departmental tasks, coordination measures and implementation of laws decreed by the Grand Municipal Council are carried by the City Council. The regular election of the City Council by any inhabitant valid to vote is held every four years. The current mandate period ("Legislatur") is from 2019 to 2022. Any resident of Zug allowed to vote can be elected as a member of the City Council. The delegates are selected by means of a system of Majorz (since 2014). The mayor is elected as such as well by public election while the heads of the other departments are assigned by the collegiate. The executive body holds its meetings in the "Stadthaus" (Town Hall) on Kolinplatz.
