Meet the Council

A Mayor is an elected person who serves as the President of the Town's Board of Trustees. He or she has many responsibilities and follows the goal of making this Town a great place for its residents to live.

Mayors, along with their trustees can decide how to spend money on local programs, construction projects, parks, city streets, and other things. At town council meetings, where local officers discuss current and upcoming plans for their areas, the mayor listens to everything and may or may not vote on which plans should be put into practice. The Mayor conducts the Town council meetings.

The Mayor is also responsible for making sure that Town services, such as the water, sewer, roads, and parks, work well and are helping everyone who needs assistance.
