Expiration of terms is staggered, and elections for Board members are held every two years. After each biennial election, the Board elects from among themselves a Mayor Pro Tem. All members of the board must have resided within the town limits for at least 12 months prior to election. The Board takes action by enactment of ordinances, resolutions and formal motions, which provide direction for the Town Staff.
