The Municipality of Milos was formed in 1989, when the
previous separated administration of the seven villages was
united into one. Milos is also the administrative center of
one of the four Departments of the Cycladic Region for the
nearby islands of Serifos, Sifnos, and Kimolos.
The
Municipality has elections every four years ( in
2006 the Mayor's team has been confirmed) and the Mayor, Mr. Georgos Tsainis has
a City Council of 13 members (majority 8 at present)
presided by Mr. Averkios Gaitanis.
Some municipal offices have own decisional power, like the
Office of the Port.
The
Municipality of Milos is in Plaka, with secondary offices
and operating units throughout the island.
The present administration is involved in guiding a
renovation process of the whole administration, and in
pursuing main projects (airport, new port in Pollonia,
biological well, desalinization of sea water,
slaughterhouse, etc) tied to the development of the island,
as well as improvement of roads, schools, and utilities, and
introducing all possible technologies and machinery to
improve the efficiency of the administration, both for the
citizens and for the tourists.
