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 Board
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
for the 2012-2014 term.
The Town Board meets in regular session on the second
Thursday 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 meetings are open to the public.

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,
during the week 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
made during work session are for directional purposes, actual
determinations are voted on in a meeting,
