It is a popular misconception our town is run by the Mayor. This is not true in our form of government. Our town is run by a Manager who is hired by Council. The Manager oversees all department heads and personnel. The Manager prepares the municipal budget that is approved by Council. The Manager must attend all Council meetings and typically participates in discussion with Council, but has no vote. The Manager serves at the pleasure of Council and may be removed by a majority vote at any time.
