The Town is led by a seven-member Town Council, which is led by the Mayor and Vice-mayor. The Vice-mayor title shifts among Councilmembers every eight months to ensure equality among all Councilmembers.
Councilmembers are elected to four year terms and the Mayor is elected to two-year terms. The Mayor and Council Elections are held in the Fall Election Cycle with the Primary held in August and the General held in November. Refer to the Town's election webpage for additional information. Mayor and Councilmember terms and contact information are listed on each member's page.
The Council meets in the Town Hall Council Chambers the first and third Tuesdays of each month (beginning at 5:30 p.m.) and holds a work-study session the second Tuesday of the month (beginning at 5:30 p.m.), if a topic has been assigned.
