The Town of Oakboro is governed by a Mayor / Council form of government. The Board includes a Mayor and five Board members who all serve two-year terms.
However, beginning in 2009, the Council voted to implement staggered
terms. This would be satisfied by the top 3 vote getters in the 2009
election serving 4 years. The Mayor and remaining two positions will be
up for re-election in the 2011 elections.
The Town Board meets in regular session on the first Monday night of each month at 7:00 PM in the Oakboro Town Hall. The Mayor is the presiding officer at each meeting. In the absence of the Mayor, the Mayor Pro Tem will preside. All regular session meetings are open to the public. The purpose of the Board meetings is to conduct Town business. This can include the enactment of ordinances and resolutions that constitute the laws of Oakboro. Ordinances take effect when approved by a majority of the Board. Board members receive the agenda for the Board meetings, along with any material pertaining to agenda items, on the Friday prior to each regular meeting. This gives each Commissioner the opportunity to study each agenda item prior to the meeting. Work sessions may be held in order to discuss matters that require a more in-depth explanation or study. All decisions are voted on in regular session. The Town Clerk prepares the minutes of each meeting. Each session is tape recorded to ensure the accuracy of the minutes.
