- The College of Burgomaster and Aldermen is named after the collegial structure of the board.
In Hotton they generally meet on Wednesdays.
- The Burgomaster chairs over the Municipal Council and the Municipal College. He/she is appointed by the King but he/she is nominated by the Municipal Council.
