the Wilson City Council consists of a Mayor and seven City Council members. City Council members are elected from voters in seven districts while the mayor is elected at-large (city wide). The mayor serves as the presiding officer at City Council meetings and as the official head of the City for ceremonial purposes.
The Wilson City Council meets regularly twice a month on the first and third Thursday of each month. The first meeting is considered a Work Session meeting, or less formal meeting that allows Council to discuss issues in greater detail. No official action is taken in morning Work Session meetings. On the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) the City Council conducts City business and residents have an opportunity to speak on issues. The City Council meeting is held in Council Chambers located on the third floor of City Hall, 112 Goldsboro Street, East.
