The Mayor is elected for a four-year term. Commissioners have four-year terms, which are staggered. During the election cycle, two Commissioners and the Mayor are elected one year, and three Commissioners are elected two years later, so three elected official positions are normally filled by elections every two years. Town elections for Mayor and Commissioner are non-partisan and at-large (no districts are designated) and are held in November of odd-numbered years.
The Board of Commissioners has two regular meetings per month at 7:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month in the courtroom at town hall. Holidays and other events may affect the meeting schedule. The agendas and minutes of these meetings are posted on the town’s web page.
